Does getting an IUD cause menstrual irregularities?

Patient's question:

A month ago, I had an IUD insertion surgery. My period has been abnormal since then, so I want to ask if the IUD can cause menstrual disorders?

Doctor's answer:

Inserting an IUD may potentially cause menstrual irregularities, as it varies from person to person. Your condition is also related to the IUD. You can temporarily wait and see. Generally, medication is not needed for treatment. After recovery, it can return to normal on its own. Additionally, it's important to pay attention to daily care and maintain good lifestyle habits. Avoid getting colds. After inserting an IUD, it's also important to take care of your body, which can help regulate your menstrual cycle.
