Is it uncomfortable to insert an IUD?

Patient's question:

I have been taking it for five days, and I feel a bit uncomfortable in my stomach. Is this normal? What should I pay attention to? I have already taken a box of Amoxicillin, should I continue to take it? Thank you for your answer

Doctor's answer:

After inserting the intrauterine device, there may be some discomfort, such as a small amount of vaginal bleeding, increased menstrual flow, irregular menstrual cycles, lower back and sacral pain, abdominal pain, and a feeling of coolness in the abdomen. These are all normal. Symptoms usually disappear within 2 to 3 months. In fact, in general, any form of contraception can have some impact on women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet, paying attention to warmth, and avoiding getting cold.
