Why do I have lower abdominal pain after having an IUD inserted?

Many girls choose to have an IUD inserted in order to satisfy their sex life, so they also need to pay attention to their bodies. When pain occurs, they should find out the cause in time and do not delay. Otherwise, if the condition worsens, the consequences will be serious. Now let us understand why lower abdominal pain occurs after IUD insertion and how we should deal with it.

The reason why some women experience this symptom after having an IUD inserted is that the woman's uterus is more sensitive to the contraceptive ring. After the IUD is inserted, it causes uterine contractions and produces mild lower abdominal pain or back pain symptoms, but generally after a short period of adaptation, this symptom disappears; but if a woman has severe lower abdominal pain, she must seek medical attention in time, and if necessary, she can use other contraceptive methods. So, let's learn what to do after having an IUD inserted.

1. It is strictly forbidden to participate in heavy physical labor within one week after the IUD is inserted.

2. Avoid sexual intercourse within three weeks after the IUD is inserted.

3. Avoid underwater work and jumping exercises, such as track and field sports, water sports, and fast-paced dancing within five weeks after the IUD is inserted.

4. Please note that you should take full rest within 3 days after the IUD is inserted, and it is best to rest in bed.

5. Avoid bathing in a tub within 4 weeks to prevent vaginal infection. However, showers and sponge baths are available.

6. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva to prevent infection.

7. Within six months after the IUD is inserted, you should pay close attention to whether the ring falls off during menstruation or bowel movements. It is best to go to the hospital for an X-ray observation of the ring once a year.

8. Pay attention to menstrual regularity and seek treatment from a gynecologist if necessary.

9. Pay attention to nutrition after inserting the IUD and eat more iron-containing foods to prevent anemia caused by excessive menstrual blood.

10. It is normal to experience lower abdominal discomfort within 3 to 6 months after the IUD is inserted.

11. If you still experience a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, back pain, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or menstrual blood volume that is twice the normal amount after 7 months of IUD insertion, you should see a doctor. If there is no improvement, the IUD should be removed and other contraceptive methods should be used instead.

Of course, women can have a good sex life with an IUD, but it is not good to always be like this. Through the above learning, I believe everyone has a better understanding of IUD insertion. The above methods vary from person to person. If you really feel unwell, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to avoid danger, which will eventually lead to worse consequences and unimaginable results. I hope all women can have a good body.
