Patient's question:
I have only one child. A few days ago, I went for a physical examination and found that I haven't had an IUD inserted. They insisted that I get one inserted. Now, it has been two days since I had the IUD inserted, and I have been experiencing spotting. I want to know if it is normal to have bleeding after getting an IUD.Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, generally speaking, in the first three days after insertion of the intrauterine device, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and increased leukorrhea; however, this is normal and can disappear on its own without requiring treatment. But if the bleeding is excessive and causes other discomforts in the body, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
