Is it normal to have bleeding during sex after getting an IUD?

Patient's question:

I started using an intrauterine device (IUD) two or three months ago and have experienced some spotting during sexual activity.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be caused by cervical erosion. You need to go to the hospital for examinations such as colposcopy and vaginal ultrasound. You will need treatments like microwave therapy and LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) at the hospital. After the surgery, intravenous drip of a large amount of antibiotics is required for treatment. Abstinence from sexual activity is recommended for one month post-surgery. Pay attention to local hygiene and prevent cross-infection. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to the development of other gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of the hospital for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
