Is it normal to have an unusually heavy menstrual flow after getting an IUD?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: After getting an IUD, my menstrual flow is particularly heavy. It flows like water after a while (about 2 hours), and the menstrual period lasts for 7-9 days with a cycle of 15-20 days. Is this normal for someone of my age?

Doctor's answer:

Inserting an IUD can indeed cause an increase in menstrual flow, and some people are not suitable for it. Anyway, I think your condition is not quite normal. It's better to get it checked out. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Also, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
