What are the reasons for prolonged bleeding after IUD removal?

Patient's question:

1. Since taking out the IUD on the 12th of this month, there has been continuous bleeding, though not heavy, with occasional clots of dark brown color.
2. Polycystic uterine fibroids have been present for about 4 years, with the largest measuring 6.0cm x 4.0cm. I have been postmenopausal for over a year, and the fibroids have not shown significant growth.
3. The ultrasound performed on the 9th of this month revealed multiple cervical cysts, which were not present before.

Doctor's answer:

It's possible that the bleeding occurred because the IUD was placed in the uterus during removal, or it could be due to cervical infection. I recommend you go to the hospital for another ultrasound examination. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
