The impact of IUD on menstruation

There are many ways to prevent pregnancy. Many women use IUDs, which are safe and effective for women who do not want children and are long-lasting. However, not everyone is suitable for using an IUD. Many people will experience discomfort, especially affecting menstruation, which may lead to irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, etc. However, the symptoms will generally disappear after a few months. If you continue to experience discomfort, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time and remove it if necessary.

①IUD is a commonly used contraceptive method for women. It uses the contraceptive ring to prevent the fertilized egg from implanting, thereby achieving the contraceptive effect. However, after all, the contraceptive is a foreign body, so it will cause some discomfort and side effects when placed in the uterus. So does the contraceptive ring have any impact on menstruation? What symptoms may it cause? Let us find out together below.

②Will the contraceptive ring affect menstruation? It is undeniable that contraception will have a certain impact on the menstrual cycle. Most women may experience prolonged menstrual periods or unstable cycles after having an IUD inserted. At the same time, a small amount of bloody secretions will appear when the ring is just inserted, which usually will not exceed seven days. Another common effect of the contraceptive ring on menstruation is that it can cause an increase in menstrual flow. Some manifestations include prolonged menstruation or irregular bleeding between menstruation. Generally, these symptoms may occur within three months of the ring being placed. If these phenomena still occur after three months, you should check it out in time or switch to other contraceptive methods.

In addition to affecting menstruation, the contraceptive ring may also cause lower abdominal pain or back pain. Generally, these discomforts will disappear after a period of adaptation. However, if severe pain in the lower abdomen occurs, it may be due to infection or displacement or incarceration of the contraceptive ring. You should seek medical attention and treatment in time.

③ Some women will experience increased vaginal discharge after having an IUD inserted. If the IUD has a tail thread, the amount of vaginal discharge may increase due to long-term contact and friction between the tail thread and the cervical membrane. A small number of women get infected after having an IUD inserted. This is mainly due to not paying attention to hygiene after the IUD is inserted, or having inflammation before, or having sex too early after the IUD is inserted, all of which can cause infection.

④It can be seen that the contraceptive ring will affect women's menstruation and may also cause other discomfort symptoms, so it is recommended that women go to a regular hospital after having the ring inserted. At the same time, you should follow the doctor's advice, pay attention to conditioning and regular check-ups. Once some uncomfortable symptoms do not disappear for a long time, you should seek medical treatment in time to prevent the contraceptive ring from affecting your health.
