Patient's question:
I have had a heavier menstrual flow since I had the IUD inserted. Every time it's a lot. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstruation is a periodic vaginal bleeding or uterine bleeding that occurs throughout a woman's reproductive life. Every month or so, the endometrium undergoes a cyclical change of being helped to thicken, blood vessels proliferating, glandular growth and secretion, as well as the collapse and shedding of the endometrium accompanied by bleeding. This physiological cycle is called the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle of women begins on the first day of menstruation and ends on the next menstrual period. It varies from 21 to 36 days, with an average of about 28 days. The duration of menstruation is generally 3-7 days, with an average of 5 days.
