Patient's question:
Previously, my menstrual cycle was always quite regular. After giving birth to my first child, I had an IUD insertion surgery at the hospital. However, afterward, my periods became irregular, with the timing varying each time, causing me to frequently have excessive bleeding. Is there a connection between the IUD insertion in gynecology and menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle was regular before getting the IUD and only returned to this symptom after insertion, it could be caused by the IUD. You can choose to remove the IUD and see if the symptom improves. Additionally, you can have a gynecological ultrasound to check if the position of the IUD is normal. It's also recommended to have a six-panel hormone test to determine if the issue is related to endocrine levels rather than the IUD.
