Some irregularity is normal at this stage of life as the cycle begins to change. However, we do recommend seeing your physician to rule out other causes of bleeding and to check in about whether the IUD is still in place, and even whether it is still necessary.

After examining you, your physician should be in position to make recommendations to address the staining. To facilitate communication with healthcare professionals in situations such as these, we recommend checking the section of our website designed for healthcare professionals,Jewish Women’s Health

Your current halachic status depends on the color of your stains, their size, and the surfaces on which they’ve been found. For more information, please see our articles on stains and toilet paper. Then please get back in touch with us with any follow up questions or details.
