Causes and solutions for prolonged menstruation with IUD

Some women choose to have an IUD inserted for contraception. Although the contraception problem is solved, it brings many problems to life. For example, the problem of prolonged menstruation makes many women feel confused and they don’t know how to regulate their bodies. Some people even use some folk remedies that have no scientific basis and are harmful to the body. Do you know the reasons and solutions for prolonged menstruation? Let me introduce it to you below!

1. The prolonged menstruation after IUD insertion is due to the compression of the endometrium by the IUD, which causes inflammatory infiltration of cells. As time goes by, the uterus will adapt and the symptoms will disappear.

2. Some people have long menstrual periods after IUD insertion, and each period is heavier. The first treatment is medication. If the medication is not effective, you should consider that the shape of the uterus may not be compatible with the size of the IUD. If necessary, you can change the ring. After changing the ring, the ring will not always be pressed in the same place, and the damaged endometrium will heal naturally. If the effect is still not obvious after changing the ring, other contraceptive methods can be used.

3. If a woman's menstrual volume increases significantly after IUD insertion, her menstrual cycle is significantly prolonged, or she often has a small amount of bleeding and severe back pain and abdominal pain, these are all abnormal phenomena. You should go to the hospital for examination.

4. If the menstrual period lasts too long after the IUD is inserted, you should pay attention to nutritional supplements. In particular, eat more foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs, etc. You can also eat more soy products, and increase the intake of vegetables and fresh fruits. Generally, dietary adjustments can effectively prevent the physical exhaustion caused by long menstruation after IUD insertion.

5. Increased vaginal discharge: The uterus is stimulated by the ring, and the cervical secretions increase. Generally, this symptom will gradually decrease and return to normal 3 months after the ring is inserted.

It should also be noted that after the IUD is inserted, the woman's uterus will be damaged to a certain extent. During the period of uterine recovery, it is best to avoid sexual intercourse. This will be beneficial to the woman's physical health and future fertility.

The above is the reason and solution for prolonged menstruation after IUD insertion. In fact, don’t worry too much or be nervous. This is a normal phenomenon. As long as you maintain a good attitude and a healthy and balanced diet, you will slowly recover. I hope the methods I provided above can be helpful to you!
