Will there be bleeding after intercourse while pregnant after insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD)?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

After insertion of the IUD, there may be a small amount of bleeding within one week. Avoid sexual intercourse and tub baths for two weeks. Due to contact between the IUD and the uterine wall, uterine contractions may occur, leading to localized endometrial damage and resulting in a small amount of irregular bleeding.
