My period came more than ten days after IUD insertion

The contraceptive ring is a foreign body and contains medicine, which requires a period of stabilization for the body. Generally speaking, menstruation will come normally one month after the contraceptive ring is inserted. In fact, side effects such as changes in menstruation are common after the insertion of an IUD, including heavy menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation, or spotting in the middle and late stages of the menstrual period. Those who have a copper-containing IUD placed may experience an increase in menstrual flow, which will gradually decrease after one year. After the placement of an IUD containing levonorgestrel, some women experience shrinkage of the endometrium and a significant decrease in menstrual volume. Spotting often occurs within 3 months of the IUD being inserted, and the condition usually improves after 3-6 months. Some people may experience amenorrhea, but there is no significant effect on overall physical and mental health and endocrine system.

Please note that a follow-up visit is required one month after the IUD is inserted to check whether the position of the IUD is normal through X-ray or B-ultrasound, and whether there is any sinking, deviation or even falling off. In addition, follow-up visits should be carried out in time 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the insertion of the contraceptive ring, and regular maintenance should be maintained once a year thereafter. If any abnormalities such as increased menstrual flow, irregular menstruation, or abdominal pain occur, the contraceptive ring must be removed in time. In addition, when placing an IUD, women must fully understand the type and service life of the IUD they use so that they can replace it in time.

Irregular menstruation after using an IUD confuses many women. Although the IUD is the most widely used and popular female contraceptive tool in my country, "inserting an IUD" is a safe "foreign object" that doctors use technology to put into a woman's uterus, just like taking medicine, and it is normal for everyone to have some side effects.

Heavy menstrual flow after IUD insertion is a common symptom. In addition to being related to the woman's physical condition, it is also closely related to the method of insertion and the medical care after IUD insertion. After inserting the IUD, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Generally, you are not allowed to do heavy physical work within one week after the IUD is inserted. It is best to rest in bed.

2. Sexual intercourse between husband and wife is strictly prohibited within three weeks.

3. Avoid sitting baths within four weeks to prevent bacteria from entering the vagina and causing infection.

4. Underwater operations and jumping exercises are strictly prohibited within five weeks.

There is generally a stable period of half a year after the IUD is inserted. If the menstrual flow is heavy, you should eat more iron-rich foods to avoid anemia caused by heavy menstrual flow. It is normal to feel abdominal discomfort within 3-6 months of having the IUD in place. If you still have a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, back pain, vaginal bleeding, and menstrual flow twice as much as usual after 7 months, you should see a doctor. If there is no improvement, or if you have obvious discomfort, you need to remove the IUD or replace it and use other contraceptive methods.
