What medicine should I take for bleeding after IUD insertion?

Although the two-child policy has been fully liberalized and many families have begun to implement it, for some women who already have an IUD, it still takes some effort to have a second child even if they want one. As we all know, IUD insertion is the same as male sterilization and is the best way of permanent contraception. However, after a woman has an IUD inserted, her body will definitely be affected to a certain extent, such as vaginal bleeding. So, what medicine should I take for bleeding after IUD insertion?

What to do if bleeding occurs after IUD insertion

Generally speaking, in the early stages of IUD insertion, some women will experience varying degrees of increase in menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual periods, or irregular spotting. This is mainly caused by friction between the contraceptive ring and the endometrium when the endometrium is shed, causing damage to the endometrium. It will generally improve naturally. If the amount of bleeding is heavy and lasts for a long time, it may be because the uterus has not fully adapted to the contraceptive ring, or because the patient went to a small clinic for an IUD insertion and contracted a gynecological disease. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for further examination. In order to diagnose the disease and provide targeted treatment.

1. During the period of vaginal bleeding after IUD insertion, pay attention to rest and take some medicine in moderation. Eat more iron-containing foods, such as pork liver, fruits, peanuts, walnuts, etc. After these treatments, if the bleeding does not stop or the above symptoms do not improve after 3-6 months, you can consider changing or removing the IUD and using other methods of contraception. If the changes in your menstrual cycle are obvious, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.

2. Get adequate rest and avoid excessive physical labor. Generally, you should rest for 1-2 days after the ring is placed, and avoid heavy physical labor within a week to avoid the ring falling off and bleeding.

3. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid infection. After the IUD is inserted, the vulva should be washed every day to keep it clean. Do not take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks and do not have sexual intercourse within 2 weeks to avoid infection.

4. Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and the shedding of the ring. If you find that the vaginal bleeding is heavy, more than twice the normal menstrual blood volume or the bleeding time is longer, and the changes in the menstrual cycle are obvious, you should go to the hospital for examination. During the first 3 months, you should also pay attention to whether the ring falls off.

5. Regular check-ups. Generally, the first check-up after the placement of the ring is after the first menstruation, the second check-up is within 3-6 months after the placement of the ring, and the third check-up is 12 months after the placement of the ring, and then check-ups are conducted once a year.
