Patient's question:
I already have a child and don't want to have a second one, but I can't prevent masturbation. Every time I take medication, it harms my body, so I came up with the idea of getting an IUD to prevent pregnancy. But after getting the IUD, my menstrual flow has decreased, and the color of the blood has also changed. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
After inserting the IUD, a small amount of bleeding in the short term is mainly due to the damage to the endometrium during the insertion process, but it will return to normal very quickly. The bleeding will last for several days, and the amount of bleeding will not be less than the menstrual flow. However, after inserting the IUD, it is recommended that some women go to a professional hospital for a detailed and thorough examination within 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends, and receive timely symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. This is because the endometrium may undergo further biochemical changes and local coagulation dysfunction, mainly manifested as hypomenorrhea. During the treatment period, women should pay attention to their own care and are advised to pay attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet.
