What is the reason for bloody leukorrhea after insertion of an intrauterine device?

Patient's question:

Last month after getting the IUD, there were no such symptoms. I used to have mild cervical erosion, which has been treated. When I got the IUD, the doctor said it was fine and not to worry. This month, after seven days, it came again after one or two days, and then after another one or two days, there was bloody discharge. It happened again after one day. Why is this happening?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your situation falls under the category of side effects after having an IUD. Generally, the main side effects of having an IUD include spotting during menstruation, intercourse, or other situations, as well as prolonged bleeding during periods. These are normal phenomena and are considered side effects caused by the IUD. There is no need for medication, as it would not be effective. If it is only bloody discharge with minimal bleeding, it can be temporarily monitored without treatment.
