Patient's question:
Medical Description: I had an IUD removed a month ago, but it was not successfully taken out. Now I have early menstruation with a 10-day delay, accompanied by abdominal pain. Treatment history and effectiveness: The IUD was not removed. Desired help: Currently experiencing lower back pain and abdominal pain with a small amount of bleeding. What medication would be good to use?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis:Hello, it is common to experience side effects such as increased bleeding volume, prolonged bleeding duration, shorter cycles, spotting, increased vaginal discharge, lower back pain, and abdominal discomfort after insertion of an IUD within the first year. These symptoms are particularly pronounced within the first three months. However, it is still recommended to complete three courses of medication treatment first. If the symptoms persist and are still not manageable, then consider removing the IUD. IUD removal generally does not require a D&C procedure.
This could be caused by inflammation or endocrine disorders. It is advised to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination and a six-hormone test to determine the underlying cause before starting treatment. Wishing you good health.
