Why does menstruation become irregular after removing the intrauterine device (IUD)?

Patient's question:

Before, my menstrual cycle was always very regular, but recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and my period has been consistently delayed. During my period, the menstrual cramps are severe. I would like to ask: Why does menstruation become irregular after removing the intrauterine device (IUD)?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, some women experience reduced menstrual flow after having an IUD removed, primarily due to changes in the endometrial environment, which disrupts the endocrine system and leads to irregular periods and decreased flow. It is recommended to enhance nutrition, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and adjust one's mindset. If necessary, hormone levels should be checked to rule out endocrine issues. Under the guidance of a doctor, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is best to avoid pregnancy during the period of regulation. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
