My menstrual period has not been clean since I had the Mirena IUD installed.

Women wear Mirena IUD mainly for contraception. This type of contraception can be an effective contraceptive, but it has many side effects. It is necessary to decide whether to wear an IUD based on women's physical condition. Women who have venous thrombosis, cancer due to technology dependence, or are pregnant should not use the Mirena IUD. In addition, they should be checked for urinary tract inflammation before using the IUD. If there is inflammation, using the IUD will aggravate the inflammation. So why is it that my menstrual period is not clean after having the Mirena IUD inserted?

If your period is not clean after the Mirena IUD is inserted, or if it is not clean within three months to six months after the IUD is inserted, and the menstrual flow is light and there is no special discomfort, it is a normal condition and no treatment is required. Mirena IUD is a new intrauterine slow coagulation system and a therapeutic drug ring. The therapeutic drugs in the ring are mainly the high-efficiency estrogen levonorgestrel, which is used to treat gynecological diseases such as menorrhagia, uterine wall hyperplasia, endometrial polyp surgery or treatment of adenomyosis. After the IUD is inserted, the doctor will tell you that you will experience continuous menstrual bleeding three months to six months after the insertion, which is normal and you should have a follow-up check-up to check the position of the IUD one month after the insertion. However, if irregular menstrual bleeding still occurs after half a year, it may be due to movement of the ring or incompatibility with the Mirena ring, and you should seek immediate follow-up consultation.

After the patient has the Mirena IUD placed in the uterine cavity, the patient needs to pay attention to the following aspects:

First, after the IUD is placed, the patient may experience a small amount of vaginal spotting in the first three months. This condition does not require a special solution. Considering that it is mainly caused by the partial sterility after the ring is put on, and the estrogen released by the Mirena ring also takes a long time to take effect.

Second, there is a possibility that the contraceptive ring will fall off or sink. If the patient experiences heavy vaginal bleeding after wearing the ring for a long time, more than three months, a color ultrasound must be performed to observe whether the Mirena ring has sunk or fallen off.

Third, after the patient has the IUD inserted, he or she cannot have sexual intercourse or take a sitz bath within one month. If the patient is bleeding, he should not have sex or take a sitz bath during the bleeding period, as this may easily lead to infection.
