Patient's question:
First day was fine, but after the second day when the skin peeled, there was no sexual activity. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
This is a common side effect during the initial stage of IUD insertion. If the bleeding is not excessive and appears as scattered spots, you can carefully observe for a few days to see if it resolves on its own with medication. If it does not, it is recommended to avoid sexual activity for two weeks after IUD insertion. After the first menstrual period following IUD insertion, an ultrasound check should be performed to confirm the position of the IUD. Since the IUD is not attached to the uterine wall but is free-moving, menstrual flow fluctuations may cause the IUD to shift.For patients, if the condition of gynecological diseases is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, the condition may recur. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
