Is it normal to have more vaginal discharge after having an IUD inserted?

The purpose of the IUD is to prevent the fusion of egg cells and sperm. It is a common method of contraception, and the success rate of contraception is also very high. However, some women may not be suitable for IUD insertion and may experience severe bleeding after having the IUD inserted. In such cases, the IUD needs to be removed. Is it normal to have more vaginal discharge after having an IUD inserted?

It is normal to have heavy menstrual flow after having an IUD inserted. The main reason why the menstrual flow is heavier in the first month after the IUD operation is that the IUD itself is a foreign body. It is a normal physiological phenomenon that stimulates the uterine wall in the uterine cavity, causing an increase in intrauterine abdominal pressure and thus an increase in menstrual volume. It does not require special treatment and can be relieved spontaneously after the next menarche. If heavy menstrual flow continues to occur after the IUD is inserted for more than three menstrual cycles, it may be caused by infection or the body's rejection of the IUD, which is abnormal.

If it is caused by infection, oral cephalosporins, quinolones, and metronidazole drugs are recommended for anti-infection treatment. If there is heavy bleeding, it is recommended to take Yunnan Baiyao or Gongxuening tablets internally to promote blood circulation. If the heavy menstrual flow is caused by rejection of the ring, it is recommended to remove the ring immediately after the menstrual period and use other contraceptive methods for contraception.

It is normal to have more leucorrhea after inserting the IUD. It may be a rejection reaction of the uterus to the IUD. This reaction is an inflammatory reaction caused by non-bacterial infection, which will lead to more leucorrhea.

It takes three to six months to integrate after the IUD is inserted, and the symptoms will be alleviated after it is integrated. If after the IUD is inserted, there is a lot of vaginal discharge with a strong odor, and it is accompanied by vulvar itching, it may be caused by Trichomonas vaginitis. If this happens, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination, and also test your female secretions and perform B-ultrasound to check whether the position of the contraceptive ring is normal.

You must rest in bed for three to five days after inserting the contraceptive ring. During this period, you don't need to do heavy work to prevent the contraceptive ring from slipping off. In addition, you should also pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene after inserting the contraceptive ring to avoid bacterial infection. It is not suitable for sexual intercourse or sitting bath within one month after the insertion of the contraceptive ring to prevent bacterial infection and affect the body's repair. And you should also pay attention to the adjustment of diet, and eat more foods that replenish qi and blood.
