Why does the amount of vaginal discharge increase after IUD insertion?

After giving birth, everyone will go to the hospital to have an IUD inserted. However, some female friends may experience a significant increase in menstrual periods or bleeding outside of their menstrual periods after the IUD is inserted. At the same time, there will also be an increase in leucorrhea. So what is going on? Is it a problem with the IUD? What causes the increase of leucorrhea after IUD insertion? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.

Some people experience longer menstrual periods after having an IUD inserted, and some even have a small amount of bleeding during non-menstrual periods, which manifests as bloody leucorrhea or leucorrhea with blood after having the IUD inserted. When bleeding is minimal, it may appear as light brown or dark brown vaginal discharge. While the IUD plays a contraceptive role, it also causes injury to the endometrium and vascular endothelium due to mechanical pressure, releasing a large amount of anticoagulants, making the endometrium prone to bleeding, especially before and after menstruation. Therefore, some people experience longer menstrual periods after having the IUD inserted, and some people even have a small amount of bleeding during non-menstrual time, which manifests as bloody leucorrhea or blood in the leucorrhea. When there is very little bleeding, the leucorrhea will appear as light brown or dark brown. If the bleeding is particularly severe, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

Some people experience longer menstrual periods after having an IUD inserted, and some even have a small amount of bleeding during non-menstrual time. Those who experience bloody bleeding or menorrhagia should supplement with iron and choose certain hemostatic drugs according to their condition. If it still doesn't work, there may be a problem with the IUD itself, and you should consider replacing the IUD or using other birth control methods.

You need to rest for 2 days after the IUD is placed and 1 day after the IUD is removed. You should avoid excessive physical labor and squatting within one week after the IUD is placed to prevent increased bleeding or falling off of the IUD. Some women may experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting in the first month after the IUD is inserted, and sometimes this may recur in the following months. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, and avoid bathing and sexual intercourse within 2 weeks.

The above is a detailed introduction to the reasons for increased leucorrhea after IUD insertion. After the previous detailed introduction, everyone should have been clear about the causes of this situation. In fact, most of these situations are caused by some problems with the IUD itself, so after this symptom occurs, the IUD needs to be re-inserted.
