Why does bloody vaginal discharge occur after having an IUD inserted? Women are looking forward to it

Some women find that their leucorrhea is accompanied by some blood after having the IUD inserted. This phenomenon may be normal. It may be caused by mechanical damage during the insertion of the IUD, or by long-term pressure from the IUD. Of course, there may be more complicated reasons.

1. What happens if there is blood in the leucorrhea after IUD insertion?

1. After a woman has an IUD placed in her uterine cavity, the mechanical pressure of the IUD causes injury to the endometrium and vascular endothelium, releasing a large amount of anticoagulants, making the endometrium prone to bleeding, especially before and after menstruation. Therefore, some people have longer menstrual periods after having the IUD placed, and some even have a small amount of bleeding during non-menstrual time, which manifests as bloody leucorrhea or blood in the leucorrhea. When there is very little bleeding, it manifests as light brown or dark brown leucorrhea.

2. If there is blood in the leucorrhea after the IUD is inserted, it may be that the IUD is not clean and not disinfected, and bacterial infection causes vaginitis, and the pressure of the IUD causes blood in the leucorrhea.

2. What should I do if there is blood in the leucorrhea after having the IUD inserted?

1. Some women are not used to the IUD when they first wear it. In addition, the endometrium is compressed by the IUD, causing inflammatory infiltration of cells and bloody vaginal discharge. However, after a period of time, the uterus begins to adapt and the inflammation disappears.

2. Remove the IUD and switch to other contraceptive methods, such as condoms.

3. Take medicine to treat leucorrhea with blood. Use drugs such as ibuprofen, doxorubicin, and indomethacin to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins. The reduction of prostaglandins can effectively reduce uterine bleeding. Antifibrinolytic drugs such as 6-aminoacetic acid and hemostatics will not enhance uterine contraction and have a good effect. The use of Yunnan Baiyao has the effects of promoting blood circulation, stopping bleeding, removing dead tissue and promoting new blood. It is generally not recommended to take medicine for leucorrhea with blood caused by IUD insertion. If you need to take medicine, be sure to follow the doctor's instructions!

4. If there is gynecological inflammation before and the vaginal discharge becomes bloody after wearing the IUD, the IUD should be removed immediately and the vaginal discharge should be checked in the hospital. After the exact inflammation is identified, treatment should be given and the IUD can be used for contraception after it is completely cured.

5. When using the IUD again, be sure to choose one produced by a regular manufacturer, sterilized, and suitable for you.

3. What should I do if there is blood in the leucorrhea after IUD insertion?

Gynecologists said that in fact, to prevent the phenomenon of bloody leucorrhea after the IUD is inserted, first of all, after excluding various internal bleeding diseases and liver diseases, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory treatments can be applied. If the treatment does not heal after about two months, the IUD should be removed. In addition, it should be noted that a diagnostic curettage should be performed at the same time as the IUD is removed. This can completely eliminate necrotic and inflamed endometrial tissue and achieve rapid and complete hemostasis. At the same time, the scraped endometrium should be sent for pathological examination.
