What anti-inflammatory drugs should I take after getting an IUD?

In the life of both sexes, the issue of contraception is of great concern. IUD insertion is a very common method of contraception. However, women need to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs after the insertion, such as metronidazole or erythromycin, to prevent infection. Some irritation may occur after the insertion, which is normal. However, try not to have sex after the insertion, and have sex after three months. Having sex too early can easily cause infection.

What happens after a long time of wearing the ring?

1. Not long after the IUD is inserted, some mothers will experience mild back pain and soreness. This is because the mother is not used to the IUD and the uterus contracts. It will disappear naturally after a while. During this period, be careful not to do heavy work.

2. A small number of mothers may experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding, or a shortened menstrual cycle, heavier menstrual flow, or prolonged menstrual period, which is another side effect symptom of IUD insertion. This is because the endometrium is compressed by the ring and the cells undergo inflammatory infiltration. Over time, the symptoms will disappear as the uterus adapts.

3. Increased vaginal discharge is a common symptom after IUD insertion, because the uterus is stimulated and cervical secretions increase. However, this symptom will gradually decrease after 3 months of IUD placement.
