What to do if you have abdominal pain after taking Mirena

Mirena (levonorgestrel intrauterine contraceptive surgical system) is indicated for menorrhagia that is refractory to contraceptive measures, that is, menorrhagia caused by non-organic diseases. So what are the side effects of Mirena? What should I do if I have abdominal pain after taking Mirena? Just follow the editor and take a look. Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction that the editor has given to everyone.

Mirena IUD is an effective and convenient contraceptive method that is very popular among modern women. Common questions about IUD:

1. Insert the Mirena IUD within 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period ends (sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited).

2. Rest moderately within 2 weeks after inserting the Mirena ring, avoid strenuous activities, and eat nutritious foods.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Do not take sitting baths or have sexual intercourse within 2 weeks.

4. On the day after inserting the Mirena IUD, you may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, back pain or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If vaginal bleeding after surgery exceeds the amount of menstruation, or bleeding continues after about half a month, or abdominal pain is severe, please go to the hospital for a follow-up examination immediately.

5. Take appropriate anti-infection and hemostatic drugs after surgery.

There are no special taboos about having an IUD, unless you are allergic to the ring or it causes internal bleeding, then you must remove the IUD. Place it after the menstrual period is over. It is best to have the ring inserted 3-7 days after the menstrual period is over, when there is no sexual life. This is because the uterine wall is just beginning to grow and the endometrium is thin, which can prevent bleeding during insertion. At the same time, having no sexual life after menstruation can also prevent the possibility that the sperm and egg have already grown on the uterine wall when the ring is inserted. Generally, most women choose to have the ring inserted at this time. After the ring is placed, take a proper rest and avoid doing too much physical work. Generally, you need to rest for 1-2 days after the ring is placed, and you don't need to do heavy physical work within a week to prevent the ring from falling off and causing bleeding. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection. After the IUD is placed, the vulva should be cleaned every day to keep it clean. There is no need to take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks and no sexual intercourse within 1 week to prevent infection.

If you have menstrual pain or other discomfort, it is best to do B-ultrasound, colposcopy and other examinations before deciding whether to wear the Mirena ring to see if there is any possibility of inflammation. You must get treatment before wearing the Mirena ring.
