Back pain after IUD insertion

Although the family planning policy has been relaxed, there are still many families who insist on having only one child. After all, the cost and energy of raising a child are very high. There are also some families with two children who will use an IUD to prevent pregnancy after the second child is born. So what should I do if my waist hurts when I have inserted an IUD?

Lower back pain or soreness in one side of the lower limbs are the two most common symptoms after the insertion of an IUD. After the IUD is placed in the uterus, the IUD is a foreign object and is uncomfortable for the uterus, especially for some larger IUDs or if they are placed at a lower position. The uterus will take measures to clear the foreign body and cause the uterus to contract. The pain caused by uterine contraction is usually manifested as lower back pain or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen.

Whenever you feel uncomfortable after having an IUD inserted, you should pay more attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and keep your abdomen warm, which will help relieve the discomfort. However, if this type of symptom continues for three months without any improvement or disappearance, it should be considered that the discomfort is caused by the inappropriate size of the contraceptive ring. The contraceptive ring should be removed as soon as possible and other contraceptive methods should be chosen.

Another possibility is that you already suffer from lumbar muscle strain or gynecological diseases, and you will experience low back pain or soreness after inserting the contraceptive ring. Because the IUD may cause gynecological diseases. At this time, it is best to go to the gynecology department for a basic gynecological examination. If there is no gynecological disease, then it is considered that the waist pain is caused by lumbar muscle strain. You can choose Chinese medicine for treatment, such as taking Chinese herbal medicine, cooperating with massage and acupuncture therapy. Also note that long-term sitting is not advisable.
