How long is normal bleeding after IUD insertion?

When many women have not wanted to have a baby again for a long time, most of them will choose to wear an IUD. This is one of the many effective contraceptive methods and is also the choice of many women. However, having an IUD is also a painful choice, and wearing one can easily cause gynecological inflammation. Usually women will experience uterine bleeding when wearing an IUD. This is a relatively common phenomenon. As for how long the bleeding is considered normal?

It is normal to bleed for about a week after IUD insertion. If bleeding continues after a week, it may be caused by maladaptation or infection. Seek medical attention promptly and take appropriate measures.

Why does bleeding occur after IUD insertion?

A few days after the IUD is inserted, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This is because the cervix or endometrium is scratched during the insertion of the IUD, or the IUD compresses the endometrium, causing infiltration of inflammatory cells, resulting in pink leucorrhea or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This phenomenon is normal. After a few days, everything will return to normal. A small number of women experience excessive vaginal bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods and excessive menstrual bleeding after the IUD is inserted. They should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Most women have a menstrual period of about five days, and the amount of blood loss in one menstrual cycle is about 50~100ml. If the amount of bleeding after the IUD is placed is heavy and is similar to the normal menstrual flow, it is considered "excessive bleeding". If the first menstrual flow after the IUD is placed is 1 to 2 times more than the previous one and the menstrual period lasts for more than nine days, it is also considered menorrhagia.

Warm reminder: Bleeding is a common side effect of having an IUD inserted in women. There may be temporary changes in menstruation after the IUD is inserted, and the general adaptation period is about three months. In addition, after the IUD is inserted, you may experience back pain, lower abdominal distension and pain, etc. Mild cases can be left untreated, but severe cases such as bleeding exceeding the menstrual volume should be diagnosed and treated in time.

One of the many symptoms a woman may experience after having an IUD inserted is bleeding. Women need to remain calm about this, but if the bleeding continues for a long time, women need to check their bodies to avoid other inflammations that may cause harm to the body. Women need to take better care of their bodies after having an IUD inserted.
