###Human: Does copper T cause heavy periods? Suggest an alternative. ###Assistant: Hi. I have read and understood your problem. How was the bleeding before pregnancy and for 3 months after delivery? Was your delivery a normal or C-section? Whether the copper-T is properly placed or not or to see some other cause for heavy bleeding you need to take a transvaginal ultrasound -TVS. Sometimes if the bleeding continues then removal is the treatment, the period will regularize if it is due to copper T. If the cause is something else and the spotting continues, you will have to get treatment. There are medicines which can reduce the amount of bleeding. You need a clinical check-up.
