Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
The abnormal bleeding during or after intercourse that you describe, could be suggestive of underlying serious issues. The causes could be infections like Gonorrhea or Chlamydia, PID, vaginitis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, use of hormonal contraceptives itself, endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, cervical dysplasia, probable hurt due to the device at time of intercourse, etc. Only after a careful examination and investigations (vaginal swab/smear test, PAP smear test, hormonal analysis) the exact cause can be made out. PAP smear will test for cervical erosion/dysplasia and vaginal swab/smear test will help to rule out infective causes. Ultrasound scan done will help to confirm the position of the IUD. Treatment as needed (based on your examination and investigation results) would be started to help you. Do not delay in visiting your doctor/gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
Take care.
