How long does it take to get your period after wearing the ring?

The IUD, also known as the intrauterine device, is a common contraceptive technology and the most likely way to prevent unwanted pregnancy. After wearing the IUD, you should pay attention to the fact that your uterus will be traumatized in a short period of time, so your menstruation may stop for a period of time. It will take about a month for you to resume your normal menstrual period, but the menstruation may not be very stable at the beginning and there is no stable regularity.

How long does it take to get your period after having the IUD inserted?

The IUD is a foreign body and contains drugs, so the human body needs a period of adaptation. Generally speaking, menstruation will come normally one month after the insertion of the IUD. In fact, side effects such as menstrual changes are common after IUD insertion, including heavy menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period or mid-cycle spotting.

Those who have a copper IUD may experience an increase in menstrual blood flow, which gradually decreases after one year. After placement of a levonorgestrel-containing contraceptive device, some women experience endometrial atrophy and a significant decrease in menstrual volume. Spotting often occurs within 3 months of placement, and the condition improves naturally after 3-6 months. Some people may experience amenorrhea, but there is no obvious effect on overall health and endocrine system.

It should be noted that a follow-up examination is required one month after the insertion of the IUD. Fluoroscopic or B-ultrasound should be used to observe whether the position of the ring is normal, and whether there is any downward movement, displacement or even falling off. At the same time, timely follow-up examinations should be carried out 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the insertion, and regular examinations should be maintained once a year thereafter. If any abnormalities are found, such as increased menstrual flow, irregular menstruation, or abdominal pain, the IUD should be removed promptly. At the same time, when women have an IUD placed, they must ask in detail about the type and lifespan of the IUD so that they can replace it in time.

What to do if your menstruation is irregular after having an IUD inserted

Irregular menstruation after IUD insertion troubles many women. Although the IUD is the most widely used and popular female contraceptive tool in my country, "insertion" is a doctor's use of technology to place a safe "foreign object" into a woman's uterus, just like taking medicine, so it is normal for some individuals to have some side effects.

Heavy menstrual flow is a common symptom after IUD insertion. In addition to being related to the woman's physical constitution, it is also related to the IUD insertion technique and post-insertion care. After the ring is inserted, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Generally, it is strictly forbidden to participate in heavy physical labor within one week after the IUD is inserted. It is best to rest in bed.

2. No sexual intercourse within three weeks.

3. Avoid taking a bath in a tub within four weeks to prevent bacteria from entering the vagina and causing infection.

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

There is generally a six-month adaptation period after IUD insertion. If the menstrual flow is heavy, you should eat more iron-containing foods to prevent anemia caused by excessive menstrual blood. It is normal to experience lower abdominal discomfort within 3-6 months after the IUD is inserted. If you still have a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, back pain, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or menstrual blood volume more than twice the usual after 7 months, you should see a doctor. If there is no improvement, or if you have obvious discomfort, you need to remove or replace the IUD and use other contraceptive methods.
