Causes of post-coital bleeding after IUD insertion

We all know that IUD insertion is a common contraceptive measure at present, but some female friends experience bleeding after intercourse after having IUD insertion. This is mainly due to uterine erosion or IUD displacement. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends who have IUD insertion should have a thorough examination. If the bleeding after sex is affected by the displacement of the IUD, it is recommended that female friends readjust the position of the IUD to avoid bleeding from happening again.

The causes of your situation include cervical erosion, ring displacement or unsuitable ring. It is best to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound and routine gynecological examination to confirm the cause and then give you symptomatic treatment. If the ring is displaced or uncomfortable, it is recommended that you remove the ring.

There are two common side effects after the IUD is inserted. The first is bleeding. This is generally caused by the IUD stimulating the endometrium, causing histochemical changes and producing local coagulation disorders. Menstrual abnormalities are also related to the material of the IUD. Plastic and copper-containing IUDs have a higher incidence of bleeding, while metal rings have a lower incidence, and those containing progesterone have the lowest incidence.

After the IUD is inserted, you can have sex at least half a month to a month later. If you are bleeding now, it may be because the cervix has not completely contracted. You should stop having sex for a while, otherwise the IUD will easily fall off. It will take at least several months or even years for the IUD to adhere to the uterus. You can treat it symptomatically and go to a regular hospital for a checkup. The doctor will usually prescribe some hemostatic and analgesic drugs, and you will generally be able to adapt to it after a few months. However, if the side effects are ineffective after treatment and the symptoms worsen, you can consider removing the IUD.

There will be a small amount of bleeding within one week after the IUD is inserted. Sexual intercourse and bathing are prohibited within two weeks. There will be some abnormalities in menstruation within three months. In your case, if the bleeding after sexual intercourse is not within two weeks, it may be caused by discomfort of the IUD, but cervical erosion cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination in time to clarify the cause.

I believe that after reading the contents of this article, you should all know that bleeding after intercourse after IUD insertion is closely related to the sexual life of female friends. Because female friends do not pay attention to the hygiene of the genitals after IUD insertion or engage in promiscuous sex, it is very likely to cause symptoms of bleeding after intercourse. I hope female friends can take care of themselves.
