What are the causes and solutions for lower back pain after IUD insertion?

It seems that everyone is not particularly familiar with the term "IUD". This is a professional term. "IUD" is the most commonly used long-term contraceptive measure for women of childbearing age in my country. Often an IUD can be placed in the body for more than ten years. IUD insertion itself is a minor operation, placing a foreign object in the uterine cavity, and it takes some time for the body to adapt. However, some people experience lower back pain after having the IUD inserted. Why is this? Let me clear up the confusion for you.

The contraceptive ring placed in the uterus is a "foreign body" to the uterus, especially when the ring is too large or positioned low. The uterus contracts to expel this "foreign body", causing uterine contraction pain, which is clinically manifested as lower abdominal pain and back pain. The above symptoms often occur in the early stages of IUD insertion. They can be treated symptomatically with painkillers. Generally, they will get better after a few months, but it is best to see a doctor.

Solution:

1. Get adequate rest and avoid excessive physical labor. Generally, you should rest for 1-2 days after the ring is placed. Do not do heavy physical labor within a week to avoid the ring falling off and bleeding.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid infection. After the IUD is placed, the vulva should be washed every day to keep it clean. Do not take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks and do not have sexual intercourse within 2 weeks to avoid infection.

3. Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and shedding of the ring. If you find that your vaginal bleeding is heavy, more than twice the normal menstrual blood volume or the bleeding lasts longer, or the changes in your menstrual cycle are obvious, you should go for a check-up in time. During the first 3 months, you should also pay attention to whether the ring falls off.

4. Check regularly. Generally, the first check-up after the placement of the ring is after the first menstruation, the second check-up is within 3-6 months after the placement of the ring, and the third check-up is 12 months after the placement of the ring, and then it is checked once a year.

5. Pay attention to nutritional supplements. Appropriately increase nutrition, especially eat more foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidney, eggs and other foods. You can also eat more soy products, increase vegetables and fresh fruits. Generally, the above dietary conditioning can effectively prevent the physical energy consumption caused by the side effects of IUD.

I believe everyone must have a certain understanding of this. When lower back pain occurs after IUD insertion, remember to take corresponding countermeasures, or take timely prevention measures before this situation occurs. I hope women who have had an IUD inserted will not have any problems of one kind or another, and that they will pay more attention to themselves and avoid illness.
