Patient's question:
Because the policy in my place does not allow it, so after giving birth to my second child, I went to get an IUD inserted. My body was quite healthy before, and I didn't have any gynecological diseases. But ever since getting the IUD, I've noticed that my menstrual cycle has become irregular, always delayed by a few days. What could be the reason for my menstrual irregularity after having the IUD for a year?Doctor's answer:
After a woman gets an IUD, common reactions include vaginal bleeding, heavy menstrual flow, shorter bleeding duration, or even lower abdominal pain. Please compare and see if you experience any of these symptoms again. If you do, most of them are physiological and will gradually return to normal within 6-12 months. If you experience prolonged physical discomfort, it may be necessary to remove the IUD and wait for careful observation. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during treatment, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
