Bleeding during intercourse with Mirena

The Mirena IUD is an effective contraceptive method. Many women often choose this method to prevent unmarried pregnancy. There are also some common problems after inserting the Mirena IUD, especially you must pay attention during intercourse, maintain good hygiene, do not have sex too frequently, and have a fixed sexual partner, otherwise it is easy for the IUD to fall off and affect the reproductive health of women.

What should I do if I bleed during intercourse while wearing Mirena?

Considering that bleeding during intercourse with the Mirena IUD is not closely related to the contraceptive ring, it cannot be completely eliminated. If it is definitely related to the IUD, the IUD can be removed and other contraceptive measures can be taken. Bleeding during intercourse may be a cervical disease, which is common in cervicitis, cervical tumors, female vaginal polyps, vaginal tumors, etc. You can go to the hospital for a colposcopy or a gynecological examination and give corresponding treatment based on the examination results. If it is caused by inflammation, anti-infection treatment measures can be actively given, such as local use ofloxacin suppositories or metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets. If polyps occur, laser surgery can be performed. If vaginal or cervical tumors are suspected, a local pathological puncture biopsy is required to determine the severity of the disease based on the test results, and then consider surgical treatment.

In order to allow the body to adapt to the existence of the ring as soon as possible and resume sexual life as soon as possible, experts say that female friends should pay attention to the following:

1. Maintain environmental hygiene: Women wearing the Mirena IUD should pay attention to environmental hygiene, clean the vulva every day and keep it clean. Do not take a sitz bath within 2 weeks to prevent infection.

2. Take adequate rest: Women who wear the Mirena IUD should ensure adequate work and rest time and avoid heavy physical work to prevent the ring from falling off and bleeding.

3. Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and the falling of the ring: If you experience heavy vaginal bleeding after inserting the Mirena ring, which is more than twice the normal menstrual blood volume or the bleeding time is longer, in addition, if the changes in the menstrual cycle are more obvious, please go to a regular hospital for examination immediately. Within 3 months after inserting the Mirena IUD, you should also pay attention to whether the ring has fallen off.

4. Pay attention to nutritional supplements: Appropriately increase nutrition, especially eat more foods rich in iron and water, which can effectively avoid the physical loss caused by the side effects of Mirena IUD.

5. Regular maintenance: Generally, the first check-up after the placement of the IUD is after the first menstrual period, the second check-up is within 3-6 months after the placement of the Mirena IUD, and the third check-up is a follow-up visit 12 months after the placement of the Mirena IUD, followed by a follow-up visit once a year.
