Patient's question:
I got my IUD inserted on September 26th, and my period started on October 15th. The first five days were very light, using only one sanitary pad a day! Starting from the morning of the 20th, the flow increased, more than it usually was during my period, and it has been heavy ever since. Today is the 23rd, and my period still hasn't stopped—it's been heavy for four days now. I don't have any stomach pain, but I do feel a bit dizzy. On the 20th, I went to the hospital and asked the doctor. She said it's normal and told me to wait for two or three more days. If the period still hasn't stopped, I should go back to the hospital for a check-up.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, you can take medication for treatment as prescribed by your doctor. Having an IUD has a certain relationship with this. If the treatment is ineffective, you should remove the IUD in a timely manner. Additionally, if there is excessive bleeding, it is necessary to have a blood test to check for anemia.Irregular menstruation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
