Why does the ring bleed?

Bleeding during IUD insertion is a normal physiological phenomenon. Because the IUD will affect the uterine mucosa and easily stimulate mucosal bleeding, it is recommended that female friends should pay attention to the hygiene of the uterus and avoid infection. As for the possible side effects of IUD insertion, it is recommended that everyone should be aware of it, because this is very good for avoiding infertility and gynecological diseases, and helps to achieve contraceptive effects.

Bleeding after insertion

IUD insertion is a relatively simple contraceptive method and is widely used by women of childbearing age in my country due to its long-term effectiveness. Although there are many advantages to having an IUD, there are often some adverse physical reactions after having it, such as bleeding.

Insertion of an IUD is the placement of a contraceptive ring in the uterus. Although it is only a minor operation, it is also the placement of a foreign object into the human body. Naturally, an immune rejection reaction will occur, and the body needs an adaptation process before it can return to normal. This reaction is manifested in the uterus trying to increase compression to expel the ring from the body. During this adaptation process, some people cannot feel the movement of the uterus, while others often experience bleeding.

Bleeding may occur as a small amount of vaginal bleeding, or abnormal menstrual reactions, such as shortened or prolonged menstrual periods, increased menstrual flow, etc. The main reason for these conditions is that the endometrium is compressed by the ring, and at the same time, inflammatory infiltration occurs in the cells in the uterus, leading to bleeding. This situation will generally disappear after a period of time, because as time goes by, the uterus has adapted to the presence of the ring and will naturally no longer reject it.

Why does bleeding occur after having an IUD inserted?

The effectiveness of a contraceptive ring placed in the uterus is generally up to ten years, but bleeding often occurs one week after placement. Many women panic about this, fearing that they have been infected with some serious gynecological disease. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon. So, why does bleeding occur after having an IUD inserted?

The main reasons for bleeding after inserting the ring are as follows: first, the cervical canal is scratched when the ring is inserted; second, the endometrium is scratched when the ring is inserted; third, the endometrium is rubbed and compressed by the ring. Bleeding caused by the above reasons often stops after the wound heals.

Bleeding is often accompanied by mild backache, lumbago and increased leucorrhea. The former is caused by uterine contraction just after the IUD is inserted. It is important to note that you should try not to do heavy work during this period. The latter is caused by stimulation of the uterus, which increases cervical secretions. These symptoms will subside and disappear after a period of time.

So, if the bleeding only occurs for a few days and does not exceed a week, this is normal and there is no need to worry. However, if the bleeding continues for a long time after a week and the amount of bleeding is too much, you need to go to the hospital for examination.
