How long does it take for back pain to heal?

It is possible that the IUD insertion may cause lower back pain, mainly because it will stimulate the damage to the uterine mucosa, and uterine contractions can also cause lower back pain, so it is recommended that female friends should pay attention to the side effects after the IUD insertion. It usually takes about three months for lower back pain to recover after IUD insertion, and it will get better after one month, but you cannot have sexual intercourse within one month.

It is easy to cause low back pain after IUD insertion. Generally, the low back pain caused by IUD insertion can be improved after one month. Some people need three months. If the low back pain is still unbearable after more than three months, it is recommended to remove the IUD, because long-term low back pain affects the quality of life and may cause diseases in other parts of the body.

"IUD insertion" means placing a plastic or metal contraceptive device in the woman's uterine cavity. This contraceptive device is a "foreign body" relative to the uterine cavity. The foreign body stimulates the uterus, and the uterus's instinctive exclusivity makes it want to expel it, causing uterine contractions. Uterine contraction pain is a normal reaction after the IUD is inserted.

Low back pain is often caused by a large foreign body, that is, the ring is of an inappropriate size, or is placed too low, which can cause more obvious lower abdominal or low back pain due to stimulation of the uterus. Some women, after having an IUD placed in an outpatient clinic, do not want to affect their work and do not get enough rest. Instead, they engage in heavy physical labor too early, especially some jobs that require standing for long periods of time. The high intensity of the labor and the great abdominal pressure can also cause low back pain or shift the IUD. When placing an intrauterine contraceptive device, the internal and external vulva must be strictly disinfected. If the disinfection is not strict, it will cause inflammation, which is also one of the causes of low back pain.

The above situations usually occur within the first few months of IUD placement and should be treated symptomatically under the guidance of a doctor, such as taking anti-inflammatory drugs. The symptoms will gradually ease. If the symptoms worsen, the IUD can be removed and other contraceptive methods can be used instead. The causes of low back pain are very complicated. Some women's low back pain is not caused by "IUD insertion". For example, some people have adnexitis, and some people's body shape, job nature, body sensitivity, etc. are not suitable for the placement of intrauterine contraceptive devices, which can also cause low back and abdominal pain after the placement of the IUD. If there are strong cramps or sudden cramps, check whether the patient has pelvic infection, uterine perforation, or IUD dislocation or incarceration. If so, these problems should be eliminated immediately.
