Patient's question:
Medical Description: Everything was normal before the IUD insertion, but after the insertion, menstruation has lasted for 10 days with a lot of bleeding.History of Treatment and Effect: No treatment has been administered yet.
Help Needed: I want to know why this is happening.
Doctor's answer:
Hello! After the intrauterine device (IUD) is inserted into the uterus, it is considered a foreign object for the uterus, which can cause an inflammatory reaction. There are many discomforts after insertion, and your current condition is considered normal.Recommendations:
The adverse reactions after IUD insertion include:
1. Bleeding: Most women will experience light bleeding 3-4 days after insertion. This usually does not require treatment and resolves on its own within one week.
2. Increased menstrual flow: In the early stages of IUD use, especially during the first three months, some women may experience varying degrees of increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or irregular spotting. This typically improves naturally after three months. If the menstrual flow increases by 1-2 times compared to before insertion, or if irregular bleeding persists for a long time, it may lead to anemia, and medical attention should be sought promptly.
