Patient's question:
I have had the IUD for five days, and there has still been peeling. How long does the peeling need to last to be considered normal?Doctor's answer:
Typically, a small amount of vaginal bleeding after IUD insertion is normal. If the bleeding volume does not decrease below the level of a menstrual period within one week after insertion, it is considered normal. However, the duration of bleeding varies depending on each individual's constitution. It is important to remember that regular follow-up examinations at the hospital must be scheduled on time, as this is crucial. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
