What to do if a woman bleeds after having an IUD inserted

Nowadays, many married women go to the hospital to get an IUD for contraception. However, when the IUD is first inserted, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt, and some women will experience bleeding symptoms, which requires treatment. What should women do if they bleed after having an IUD inserted? Many female friends want to know about this question, so let me introduce it to you below.

What should women do if they bleed after having their IUD inserted?

(1) During the period of vaginal bleeding after IUD insertion, take rest and take appropriate medications. Eat more iron-containing foods, such as pork liver, fruits, peanuts, walnuts, etc. After these treatments, if the bleeding does not stop or the above symptoms do not improve after 3-6 months, you can consider changing or removing the IUD and using other methods of contraception. If the changes in your menstrual cycle are obvious, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.

(2) Get adequate rest and avoid excessive physical labor. Generally, you should rest for 1-2 days after the ring is placed. Do not do heavy physical labor within a week to avoid the ring falling off and bleeding.

(3) Pay attention to hygiene and avoid infection. After the IUD is inserted, the vulva should be washed every day to keep it clean. Do not take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks and do not have sexual intercourse within 2 weeks to avoid infection.

(4) Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and the shedding of the ring. If you find that your vaginal bleeding is heavy, more than twice the normal menstrual blood volume or the bleeding time is long, or the changes in the menstrual cycle are obvious, you should go to the hospital for examination. During the first 3 months, you should also pay attention to whether the ring falls off.

(5) Regular check-ups: Generally, the first check-up after the placement of the IUD is after the first menstrual period, the second check-up is within 3-6 months after the placement of the IUD, and the third check-up is 12 months after the placement of the IUD. Check-ups are conducted annually thereafter.

The above is a brief introduction about what women should do if they bleed after having an IUD inserted. I hope the above introduction can help everyone. When it comes to wearing an IUD, every woman's situation is different, but most women can adapt to it without any problems. A small number of women will have problems, but as long as they go to the hospital for treatment in time, there will be no problem at all.
