Why does my menstrual period last longer after IUD insertion?

Many people are familiar with IUD insertion, which is a relatively popular method of contraception nowadays. Many women don’t know why their menstrual periods last longer after having an IUD inserted. In fact, this is a side effect of the IUD, which needs to be adjusted slowly, and women also need to adapt to the IUD in their body.

1. The situation is caused by menstrual disorders, such as IUD or endocrine disorders. Western medicine has great side effects in treatment. Pay more attention to rest, actively supplement nutrition and vitamins, maintain a good mood and get enough sleep.

2. Generally speaking, women may experience some side effects of varying degrees after having an IUD inserted. There are two main common side effects. Bleeding is the most common. Some women may experience increased menstruation, some may have prolonged menstruation, and some may have mixed blood and heavy vaginal discharge. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

3. Some people have long menstrual periods after IUD insertion, and each period is heavier. The first treatment is medication. If the medication is not effective, you should consider that the shape of the uterus may not be compatible with the size of the IUD. If necessary, you can change the ring. After changing the ring, the ring will not always be pressed in the same place, and the damaged endometrium will heal naturally. If the effect is still not obvious after changing the ring, other contraceptive methods can be used.

4. The side effects of IUD insertion are prolonged menstrual period and heavy menstrual flow. In theory, there is a half-year adaptation period after IUD insertion. If you have heavy menstrual flow or long menstrual period, you should see a doctor at any time. The body and the IUD need a process of mutual adaptation. After all, it is a foreign body and you will get used to it slowly.
