You should seek the correct method and not let your family members worry. Many women now have this problem, so it is better to learn more about medicine, and understand it correctly. What exactly is causing the stomach pain after having the intrauterine device inserted?

After having an IUD inserted, many women experience abdominal pain, which is a normal condition caused by the IUD.

The contraceptive ring is a foreign object. After it is inserted into the uterus, the body needs a period of adaptation. Most people who choose intrauterine devices for contraception have no adverse reactions, but a few will experience some side effects and complications.

If you experience lumbar pain, lower abdominal distension, bloody leucorrhea, spotting, irregular vaginal bleeding, increased menstrual flow, shortened menstrual cycle, etc. after IUD insertion, if the symptoms are mild, no treatment is generally required. Once the body adapts, the symptoms will gradually ease or disappear on their own. If the symptoms are severe, you can go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment. If the treatment is ineffective, the IUD should be removed and other contraceptive methods should be used instead.

Notice:

Nursing care for several discomforts after the ring is placed:

1. Mild back pain and soreness is caused by the discomfort caused by the placement of the ring and the contraction of the uterus. It will disappear naturally after a period of time. During this period, be careful not to do heavy work.

2. A small amount of vaginal bleeding, or a shortened menstrual cycle, heavy menstrual flow, and a prolonged menstrual period are due to the compression of the endometrium by the ring, which causes inflammatory infiltration of cells. As time goes by, the uterus will adapt and the symptoms will disappear.

3. Increased vaginal discharge: When the uterus is stimulated, cervical secretions increase. Generally, this symptom will gradually decrease 3 months after the ring is placed.

There is a certain amount of pain when inserting and removing the IUD, but it is all within an acceptable range, so female friends can rest assured.

IUD insertion can be done painlessly, using special anesthetics. It is safe, painless, and has no significant impact on the brain and nerves.

Generally speaking, women can usually tolerate the pain caused by removing the IUD. If you are particularly afraid of pain, it is recommended to use painless IUD removal. The process of removing the ring usually takes a few minutes to complete.

If you don’t want to have children at the moment, it is best to choose an IUD, because contraceptives have certain side effects on the human body and will also affect the menstrual cycle. If you plan to have another child, you can remove the IUD. It is generally best to wait one to two months before getting pregnant after removing the IUD. Whether it is an IUD insertion or removal, it should be done 3-7 days after the menstruation ends. This is the best time for surgery.

Now you know the reason for stomach pain after having an IUD. You should treat it correctly. If you have time, you should learn more about this and learn how to use contraception correctly. Don't let your family worry about you. Being a woman is amazing. You have to endure a lot of pain in childbirth. So don't panic when you encounter any problems in the future.
