Patient's question:
Menstruation stopped after only 2 days, with very little flow and a color close to dark coffee. What should I do?Medical history and effectiveness: Last month, when I went to remove an IUD, it was said that there was pelvic effusion, and I was given clindamycin for 4 days.
What kind of help do I need: Should I get an injection or undergo some tests?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is caused by the intrauterine device (IUD). The IUD is a foreign object, and the body needs a period of adaptation after it is placed in the uterus. This is within the normal range. Most women using an IUD for contraception experience no adverse reactions, while a few may have some side effects and complications.If you experience lower back pain, lower abdominal discomfort, bloody discharge, spotting, irregular vaginal bleeding, increased menstrual flow, or shorter menstrual cycles after inserting the IUD, mild symptoms generally do not require treatment. The symptoms will gradually subside or disappear on their own as your body adjusts. For severe symptoms, you should seek medical attention for symptomatic treatment. If the symptoms do not improve after treatment, the IUD should be removed, and alternative contraception methods should be considered.
