Patient's question:
I got my IUD inserted on September 26th, and my period started on October 15th. The first five days were very light, using only one sanitary pad a day! Starting from the morning of the 20th, the flow increased, more than usual during my period, and it has been heavy ever since. Today, the 23rd, my period still hasn't stopped, and it has been heavy for four days. I don't have any stomach pain, but I do feel a bit dizzy. On the 20th, I went to the hospital and the doctor said it was normal, telling me to wait two or three more days. If the period still hasn't stopped, I should go back to the hospital for a check-up.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, you can take medication for treatment as prescribed by your doctor. Having an intrauterine device (IUD) is somewhat related to this. If the treatment is ineffective, you should remove the IUD in a timely manner. Additionally, if there is excessive bleeding, it is necessary to undergo a complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia.
