Q. I have irregular periods and vaginal dryness. Can IUD be the cause?
Hello doctor,
I have irregular periods and vaginal dryness. I also have premenstrual spotting, followed by three days of profuse bleeding. I got an IUCD placed ten years back. I use Minoxidil 5 % for topical application, since three months, but I stopped it 15 days back. I have a history of vitamin B12 deficiency, which was treated. I did a test on the third day of my period, and the reports said progesterone is 3.73, FSH is 1.52, and LH is 1.89.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I need more details to understand what is going on.
- Can you explain the irregular periods, are they coming late?
- What kind of IUD (intrauterine device) do you have, copper or hormonal?
- Do you have any hirsutism or acne?
- Do you have any history of infertility? Do you have any children?
- Can you give more details as to what your questions or concerns are?

Thank you doctor,
My periods are early, and the menstrual cycle is 23 to 24 days. I have premenstrual spotting for 2 to 3 days, then heavy bleeding starts. The intrauterine device is hormonal, and it is there for the past ten years. I do not have acne, hirsutism, or any history of infertility. I have two children, a 15 year old son, and an 8 year old daughter. What is the cause of my symptoms? Is there a need for further investigation?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- If you have had hormonal IUD for ten years, I would consider taking that out. It may be progesterone IUD, and that may be causing the symptoms.
- You can choose to use oral birth control instead. You should also consider seeing a gynecologist and have an examination to rule out fibroids and endometriosis.
