Delayed menstruation after IUD insertion

Both men and women can have an IUD surgically installed, but it is usually women who use it, which causes some women to experience delayed menstruation. Delayed menstruation and vaginal bleeding are actually normal physiological changes, but they must not last too long. If there is no sign of improvement after three months, you should get checked out in time.

The insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) is a safe, effective, economical, long-acting and reversible contraceptive method, and is the main contraceptive measure for women of childbearing age in my country. The IUD primarily blocks the meeting of sperm and egg.

Delayed menstruation is the most common adverse reaction of the intrauterine device. Some women may experience increased menstrual flow after insertion, but it is not a serious problem as long as it does not lead to anemia. In the first few months after the placement of the intrauterine contraceptive ring, irregular menstruation will occur due to discomfort, which will gradually improve later. However, the intrauterine ring will cause prolonged menstruation and continuous menstrual bleeding, which are side effects of the ring.

It is generally considered that the contraceptive ring is stimulating the body's reaction, and you can go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment. It is recommended to have a gynecological examination and treat the symptoms accordingly. Experts point out that the absence of menstruation may be due to damage during the insertion of the IUD, so it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital for examination and determine the cause to see if there are any of the following reasons.

1. If the inserted ring has reached the prescribed period, you should go to the hospital to remove the ring in time to avoid deformation or failure of the ring in the uterus. Generally, metal rings can be stored for 20 years, silicone rubber V-rings can be stored for 7-10 years, and copper sleeve T-rings can be stored for 10-15 years. A new ring can be put in while removing the ring.

2. If there are adverse reactions such as irregular vaginal bleeding or continued excessive menstrual flow after the IUD is placed, which affect your health, the IUD should be removed promptly if drug treatment is ineffective.

3. If there are obvious changes in the menstrual cycle during menopause, such as the cycle becomes longer or menopause lasts for more than 6 months, the ring should be removed in time.
