I had an IUD for three years and suddenly had lower abdominal pain and bloating.

If you suddenly feel abdominal pain and bloating three years after having an IUD inserted, you should pay attention to it. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. It may have nothing to do with the insertion of the ring. It may be that the ring is inserted improperly or there is a position deviation. This is a time when infection is more likely to occur, and if there is inflammation it can cause a feeling of heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen. Go to the hospital for examination in time to find out what is the cause.

If it is during this time period and accompanied by abdominal discomfort, it can be considered that menstruation is about to come.

If it is still too early for menstruation, then you should consider the lower abdominal pain caused by inflammatory infection. You need to go to the hospital in time for a professional examination to make a clear diagnosis. It is normal for the IUD to be in the uterine cavity. If it is in the cervical canal, you need to consider removing the IUD. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to remove the IUD 3-7 days after your period ends. After removal, you need to take other contraceptive methods to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

1. The amount of leucorrhea has always been very large

After the IUD is inserted into the uterus, it will cause certain stimulation to the body. For example, if the amount of vaginal discharge increases, this often happens in the first one or two months. It will return to normal after some time has passed, but if the amount of vaginal discharge only increases and has been like this for several months, then it means that your body is rejecting the IUD and you need to see a doctor.

2. Pain in the lower abdomen or waist

Having an IUD inserted is like "embedding" a foreign object in the uterus, which the uterus may not like. Therefore, it takes some time to adapt before it can slowly accept it. However, if there is long-term lower abdominal or lower back pain, it means that the uterus is particularly "disliked" by foreign objects, so the rejection phenomenon occurs to remind people.

Many women will experience vaginal bleeding after having an IUD inserted. This is a very common reaction. Generally, the amount of menstrual blood will be heavier than usual in the first month, but it will stop after a while. On the contrary, if the amount of menstrual blood increases every month, it means that there is something wrong with the body. This is most likely because the object placed in the uterus has pressed on the endometrium, causing various discomforts in the uterus, and the increasing amount of menstrual blood is one of the reactions to the discomfort.
