How long does it take to get menstruation after the ring is inserted?

How long does it take to get your period after the IUD is inserted? IUD is a very common contraceptive method and also a very effective one. What should you pay attention to after having the IUD inserted? Will your body be affected? These issues all need attention. Many people have such concerns: how long will it take for menstruation to come after the ring is inserted? Will there be a series of problems such as irregular menstruation?

IUD placement is a good method of contraception, but some side effects are inevitable. After all, IUD placement is an object placed in the mother's body, and the body will more or less have some sequelae. Irregular menstruation is one of the side effects of having an IUD inserted. Generally speaking, a delay of one week in the menstrual cycle is normal.

Generally speaking, the first menstruation after the ring is placed will occur one month after the operation. However, it also depends on the specific individual situation, because the menstrual cycle is also affected by factors such as women's age, psychology, endocrine system, mental state, and their own physical illness. So some people will have their period a few days earlier, while others will have their period a few days later. This is all normal.

If menstruation is delayed after surgery and lasts for more than 10 days, you should be alert. It is also very important to go to the relevant gynecological hospital for follow-up consultation in time.

What to do if your menstrual flow is heavy after the IUD is placed

Increased menstrual flow: In the early stages of IUD placement, especially in the first three months, some women will experience varying degrees of increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual periods, or irregular spotting. This is mainly due to the friction between the contraceptive ring and the endometrium when the endometrium is shed, causing damage to the endometrium. Generally, it will get better naturally after three months.

If your menstrual flow is still excessive after 3 months of having the IUD in place, you need to pay attention and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Some people think that "heavy periods are nothing to worry about, no need to make a fuss, no need for treatment", this view is wrong. Because under normal circumstances, IUD insertion will not cause excessive menstruation, and excessive menstruation itself is a disease.

If your menstrual period increases significantly after the placement of the IUD, and is accompanied by abdominal pain, back pain, prolapse, fever, excessive bleeding, and vaginal discharge with an odor, you should be alert and go to the hospital to see a doctor in time to find out the cause and carry out general hemostatic treatment according to the cause of the bleeding. You can take hemostatic drugs such as vitamin K4 and Yunnan Baiyao orally. In order to prevent the occurrence of gynecological inflammation, you can also take anti-inflammatory drugs orally at the same time. If drug treatment has no obvious effect and the amount of bleeding is heavy, you can consider temporarily removing the contraceptive ring and make plans when it is appropriate.

In addition to general hemostatic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine can also be used for syndrome differentiation and treatment. If the bleeding is heavy, bright red, with dry mouth and tongue, and constipation, you can use Imperata root, Rehmannia glutinosa charcoal, Rubia cordifolia, fried Gardenia jasminoides, and Sanguisorba officinalis for treatment; if the bleeding is heavy, dark purple, with severe abdominal pain, and a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen, you should use Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Safflower, Leonurus japonicus, and Panax notoginseng; if the bleeding is lighter in color, lasts for a long time, with dull complexion, weakness in the limbs, dizziness, and tinnitus, use roasted Astragalus membranaceus, donkey-hide gelatin, Eclipta prostrata, Pseudostellaria baicalensis, Panax notoginseng, Yu Yuliang, and Guanzhong charcoal.
