Patient's question:
After menstruation, the IUD was inserted. After the insertion, bleeding has continued, with a small amount each day. It has been ongoing for 1 month. What should I do about vaginal bleeding after the IUD insertion?Doctor's answer:
The current consideration is whether the condition is caused by inflammation or the presence of an intrauterine device (IUD) leading to irritation. Currently, focus on rest and nutrition, avoid spicy foods, and consider taking Jinqi capsules and Gongxuening. Intravenous drip with Bactrim and Metronidazole can also be administered for treatment. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination. This should not be taken lightly, as it could be due to the IUD being placed in an incorrect position, or it may be that you are not suitable for this type of IUD. In such cases, an examination to remove the IUD may be necessary.
