Heavy menstrual flow with blood clots after IUD insertion

What is the reason for heavy menstrual flow and blood clots after the contraceptive ring is inserted? In response to this question, relevant personnel expressed that this is mainly because the uterine wall is scratched when the contraceptive ring is placed, which causes bleeding symptoms. For the sake of human health, it is recommended to insert the IUD within 3-7 days after the end of menstruation. It is the best time and has great benefits for the body.

What is the reason for heavy menstrual flow and blood clots after inserting the IUD?

If the menstrual flow increases significantly after the IUD is placed, the menstrual period increases significantly, or there is frequent small amount of bleeding, as well as severe back pain and abdominal pain, these are all abnormal conditions and you should go to the hospital for a physical examination.

After giving birth, most women choose to use an IUD as a contraceptive measure. Many women experience bleeding during intercourse after having the IUD inserted. Gynecologists say that this is a normal phenomenon after having the IUD inserted and there is no need to be too anxious. However, if the bleeding lasts for a long time after the IUD is inserted, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.

Bleeding during intercourse shortly after the insertion of the IUD is because the uterine wall is scratched when the IUD is placed, and the bleeding usually lasts for several days. Women who use IUDs for contraception sometimes experience bleeding during sexual intercourse. This is because the intrauterine ring is a foreign body in the uterine cavity. Its reflexive compression can cause partial damage, necrosis and ulcers of the uterine wall, and there is a possibility of bleeding. In this case, the stimulation of intercourse will inevitably cause bleeding.

There is a time choice for women to have an IUD inserted. The best time to insert an IUD is within 3-7 days after the end of menstruation. During this period, the uterine wall is still relatively thin, and the IUD will cause less damage to the endometrium and less bleeding. If the IUD is inserted beyond this period, the IUD will irritate the thickened uterine wall and cause heavy bleeding. The later the time, the thicker the endometrium, and the heavier the bleeding will be when the IUD is inserted. If the uterine wall is thicker when the contraceptive ring is inserted, and the patient's physical condition is not very good, the stimulation of the ring may increase postoperative bleeding. However, if the IUD is inserted in the second half of the cycle or close to the menstrual period, the thickness of the endometrium can cause menstrual-like bleeding.

The uterine wall is very sensitive to infection during or after the insertion of the IUD. If bacteria or viruses are brought into the uterine cavity during or after the insertion of the IUD, or if you do not pay attention to hygiene after the insertion of the IUD, it is easy to cause intrauterine infection, resulting in excessive bleeding, prolonged menstruation, menstrual pain, etc. However, infection caused by IUD insertion is very rare in regular hospitals.

The compression of the uterine wall by the contraceptive ring can cause partial hematoma, edema, and even necrosis of the uterine wall, resulting in ulcers and bleeding at the stress-bearing position. This condition is related to the incompatibility of some people with the IUD. It can usually be cured after a period of time, and of course it can be recovered quickly through treatment.
