What to do about bloody discharge after getting an IUD?

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 there was no need to worry.
This month, after seven days, it started again, with bleeding occurring every one or two days, accompanied by left-sided lower back and leg pain. Then it stopped, but it started again after one or two days, still with left-sided lower back and leg pain. Then there was bloody discharge, and the pain stopped after one day. Could this be caused by inflammation or cervical erosion? Should I see a doctor? Will it improve on its own? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your leukorrhea has blood, it could be caused by conditions such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, vaginitis, or submucosal uterine fibroids, all of which can lead to non-menstrual bleeding. If the bleeding occurs around the middle of your menstrual cycle, it may be due to ovulation bleeding.
Advice: You can visit a regular hospital to see a gynecologist for an examination and have your leukorrhea tested. Timely diagnosis and treatment should be carried out based on the situation. In daily life, pay attention to maintaining hygiene for the external genitalia and clean them once a day with warm water.
