So what should they do if there is leucorrhea with blood after IUD insertion? Next, this article will introduce you to what to do if there is leucorrhea with blood after IUD insertion, for your reference only. Friends who want to know more about this can continue reading! Please see the detailed introduction below.

The main reason for the presence of blood in the leucorrhea after IUD insertion is that while the IUD plays a contraceptive role, it also causes mechanical compression that injures 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's menstrual period becomes longer after the IUD is inserted, and some people even have a small amount of bleeding during the non-menstrual period, which manifests as bloody leucorrhea or blood in the leucorrhea. When the bleeding is very little, it appears as light brown or dark brown leucorrhea.

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

There will be blood in the leucorrhea after the IUD is inserted. Most women will have a small amount of bleeding 3-4 days after the IUD is inserted. Generally, no treatment is required and it will heal within a week after the IUD is inserted. If this phenomenon persists for a long time, you need to see a doctor so that you can clarify your physical condition in time.

There are two types of bloody vaginal discharge: physiological and pathological. Generally speaking, some women will experience ovulation bleeding during their ovulation period, also known as mid-menstrual bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment. However, bloody leucorrhea should also consider the possibility of the following diseases:

1. Cervical polyps; 2. Acute vaginitis; 3. Severe cervical erosion; 4. Senile vaginitis; 5. Cervical cancer; 6. Submucous uterine fibroids; 7. Endometrial cancer. In addition, sometimes due to the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive ring, there may be some blood mixed in the leucorrhea.

Leucorrhea is the "barometer" for analyzing gynecological diseases. If the leucorrhea is abnormal, has an odor, blood, is yellow, or is resembling tofu dregs, it is probably caused by gynecological inflammation. You should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Do not take medicine blindly on your own to avoid delaying the disease. It is recommended to go to the hospital for regular health checks to prevent and treat gynecological diseases in a timely manner.

The above is an introduction on what to do if there is leucorrhea with blood after IUD insertion. I believe that after reading the above introduction, you already know what to do. Generally speaking, it is normal to have blood in the vaginal discharge right after an IUD is inserted, and it will go away after a few days. If you have had an IUD inserted for a long time and now have blood in your leucorrhea, it is most likely caused by gynecological inflammation, which needs to be taken seriously.
