What to do if you have stomach pain after having an IUD inserted

Many female friends will experience pain after having an IUD inserted. This is because the process requires an adaptation period, which is normal within a week. If the pain lasts for a long time after having the IUD inserted, the IUD should be removed. It may be due to inflammation or side effects of the IUD. It is recommended to use other contraceptive measures. Now let us understand how to deal with the pain after IUD insertion. I hope it will be helpful to our female friends.

The IUD insertion involves placing an object in the uterus. It is a minor operation, so it takes some time for your body to adapt. During this period, you may experience lower abdominal pain, back pain, and irregular menstruation. Experts say that it is normal to experience stomach pain within a week after having an IUD inserted. However, if the pain is obviously unbearable, it may be a symptom of inflammatory infection or an allergic reaction to the ring itself, and you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations.

There will be side effects after IUD insertion. In addition to abdominal pain, there may also be a small amount of bleeding. This is because the process of IUD insertion scratches the endometrium, which will recover quickly. If the bleeding is minor and lasts for a few days, you don't need to go to the hospital. If the bleeding is heavy, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

If you experience lumbar pain, lower abdominal distension, bloody leucorrhea, spotting, irregular vaginal bleeding, increased menstrual flow, shortened menstrual cycle, etc. after IUD insertion, if the symptoms are mild, no treatment is generally required. Once the body adapts, the symptoms will gradually ease or disappear on their own. Those with severe symptoms can go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment. If the treatment is ineffective, the IUD should be removed and other methods of contraception should be used instead.

Nursing care for several discomforts after the ring is placed:

1. Mild back pain and soreness is caused by the discomfort caused by the placement of the ring and the contraction of the uterus. It will disappear naturally after a period of time. During this period, be careful not to do heavy work.

2. A small amount of vaginal bleeding, or a shortened menstrual cycle, heavy menstrual flow, or a prolonged menstrual period is due to the compression of the endometrium by the ring, which causes inflammatory infiltration of cells. Over time, the symptoms will disappear as the uterus adapts.

3. Increased vaginal discharge: When the uterus is stimulated, cervical secretions increase. Generally, this symptom will gradually decrease 3 months after the ring is placed.
