What should I do if I have bleeding during intercourse after having an IUD inserted?

It may be due to sexual intercourse disorder. It is best to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Some women will experience bleeding, menorrhagia, etc. after having an IUD inserted. This is normal. After a period of integration, you will recover. You can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check to see if the ring has fallen off or moved. If not, there is no need to worry. You should wait for a while before having sex, and don't have sex in the near future.

If bleeding still occurs after intercourse more than ten days later, it may be because the intrauterine ring is a foreign body in the uterine cavity. Its reflexive compression can cause partial damage, necrosis and ulceration of the uterine wall, and there is a possibility of bleeding. In this case, the stimulation of intercourse will inevitably cause bleeding. But generally after a period of time, the bleeding will be alleviated or disappear after the contraceptive ring is integrated into the body.

At this time, women should stop having sex for a while, otherwise the ring will easily fall off, and the ring will adhere to the cervix for at least several months or even two years. It can be solved by symptomatic treatment. Go to a regular hospital for examination. The doctor will usually prescribe some blood-activating and pain-relieving medicine, which will usually heal after a few months. However, if the bleeding during intercourse after the above IUD is ineffective after treatment and the symptoms worsen, you may consider removing the IUD.
