What causes brown vaginal discharge after having an IUD?

Inserting an IUD is a very common thing for married women. It can avoid unwanted pregnancy, play the same role as condoms and birth control pills, and prevent the occurrence of some side effects. However, some women find that their leucorrhea contains blood after having an IUD inserted. What is going on? Below, the editor will make a more detailed analysis of this issue.

The IUD refers to the placement of an intrauterine device in the uterine cavity in order to prevent semen from entering the uterus and causing conception. Originally, most IUDs were ring-shaped, so they were called IUDs. Since the contraceptive effect is over 90%, it has been widely used among Chinese women. However, it has also caused many problems, one of which is bloody leucorrhea after IUD insertion. Women must be checked in time when they experience this symptom, but the causes are generally no more than the following two:

1. After a woman has an IUD placed in her uterine cavity, the mechanical pressure of the IUD causes injury to the endometrium and vascular endothelium, releasing a large amount of anticoagulants, making the endometrium prone to bleeding, especially before and after menstruation. Therefore, some people have longer menstrual periods after having the IUD placed, and some 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, it manifests as light brown or dark brown leucorrhea.

2. If there is blood in the leucorrhea after the IUD is inserted, it may be because the IUD is not clean and disinfected, which leads to bacterial infection and vaginitis, and the pressure of the IUD causes blood in the leucorrhea. Therefore, when placing an IUD, you should go to a regular hospital and maintain a clean and sterile environment during the process.

By reading this short article, you should be able to understand the specific triggering factors. The editor reminds all women to pay attention to some relevant precautions when placing an IUD. Only by doing a good job of care can you fundamentally prevent the occurrence of these uncomfortable symptoms, and use the IUD more happily and effectively to achieve the purpose of contraception.
