Patient's question:
Post-insertion heavy bleeding, used five sanitary pads in the morning, much more than usual with blood clots, abdominal pain. Is this caused by the IUD insertion? Will Fu Xue Kang Granules or Gong Xue Ning be helpful? What should I do?＞／／First follow-up question: The bleeding is heavy on the third day after menstruation, with very little on the first two days and slightly less on the fourth day. In this situation, should I go to the hospital for a check-up? Also, my usual menstruation is heavy on the second day, with a duration of about seven days. Are there any medications to regulate my period, to reduce the amount of blood flow or shorten the duration?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to hygiene to avoid infection. After insertion, the external genital area should be cleaned daily to maintain cleanliness. Avoid soaking in a bathtub for 2 weeks and refrain from sexual intercourse for 2 weeks to prevent infection. Rest appropriately and avoid heavy physical labor. Generally, you should rest for 1-2 days after insertion, and avoid heavy physical labor within the first week to prevent the IUD from falling out or causing bleeding.
