Patient's question:
After giving birth for 3 months, I got a T-shaped IUD. My period came back 8 months after the baby was born, lasting about 12 days. Previously, when I wasn't using an IUD, my period was about 7 days long. I had 3 periods of 12 days each, and during the fourth time, my period lasted for nearly 2 months straight. It hasn't stopped yet, and the blood is bright red with a moderate amount. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said the IUD is in the correct position and it's just menstrual blood. The doctor prescribed me hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medication. After taking the medicine, my period stopped for one day but then returned again, and it's still ongoing. It's been continuous bleeding. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it may be caused by the IUD. Medications such as Gongxuening or Anluoxue can be used for hemostatic treatment. If the effect is not good, the IUD can be removed and other contraceptive methods such as condoms can be used.The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects the patient's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and treat accordingly. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
