What to do if your period is prolonged after IUD insertion

Many married women, after giving birth, will use the method of intrauterine device for effective contraception, hoping to achieve a permanent effect. Although IUD insertion has a relatively good effect on contraception, many women also experience menstrual abnormalities, such as prolonged menstruation. So, what should you do if your menstrual period is prolonged after having an IUD inserted? Let’s take a closer look below.

"IUD insertion" is the most commonly used long-term contraceptive measure for women of childbearing age in my country. Often an IUD can be left 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.

The scientific name of the "ring" is intrauterine device, abbreviated as IUD. It is placed in the uterine cavity of women of childbearing age, and achieves the purpose of abortion and contraception through mechanical stimulation and interference of chemical substances. It does not inhibit ovulation and does not affect the female endocrine system, thus avoiding the adverse reactions of general drug contraceptives. After years of practical improvement, most of the IUDs currently used in clinical practice are copper-containing or drug-containing IUDs. The stent materials are plastic, polyethylene, memory alloy, etc., and the shapes are not single, including round, T-shaped, V-shaped, Y-shaped and chain-shaped. IUDs made of different materials and in different shapes have their own characteristics, and therefore can be suitable for women with different physiques and needs.

Prolonged menstruation is probably related to the use of an IUD. Generally speaking, there is a certain impact to a greater or lesser extent. It is recommended to observe carefully. As long as the menstrual volume is not too much, there is no obvious discomfort, and there are no inflammation or other problems, there is no need to worry.

The above is an introduction to the solution to prolonged menstruation after IUD insertion. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. The main purpose of an IUD is for contraception, but after all, implanting something external in the body will definitely cause adverse reactions in the body and cause prolonged menstruation. Generally, the body will adapt and return to normal in a short period of time, so there is no need to worry at all.
