Menstrual irregularities after IUD insertion

Menstruation is a normal phenomenon in the female body. Generally speaking, it is abnormal if adult women do not have menstruation. In modern society, many women will undergo the operation of inserting the ring, because many women do not want to have children. However, many abnormal phenomena will appear after the ring is inserted, including the problem of unclean menstruation. So what is the problem of unclean menstruation after the ring is inserted?

Caused by infection. When inserting an IUD, inadequate preoperative disinfection preparation can easily lead to infection. Another thing is that if you don't pay attention to hygiene after the IUD is inserted, or have sex right after the IUD is inserted, it is easy for pathogenic bacteria to enter the vagina, infect the wound, and cause infection. If it is confirmed that the menstruation is not clean after the IUD is inserted due to infection, you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs to control the infection, and take blood circulation and blood stasis regulating drugs to improve or eliminate the symptoms of continuous menstruation after the IUD is inserted.

The position is incorrect. If the position of the IUD is incorrect, it will not only affect the contraceptive effect, but also affect menstruation and even cause non-menstrual bleeding. If the doctor inserting the IUD does not have adequate skills or the IUD becomes loose and moves downward, causing the IUD to be misplaced, it may lead to irregular menstruation after the IUD is inserted. In this case, you need to remove the ring in time and then choose to reinsert the ring within three to seven days after your period ends. This is the only way to solve the problem fundamentally.

IUD insertion can induce an increase in prostaglandins in the body. The increase in prostaglandins will not only lead to platelet aggregation dysfunction, but also increase the frequency of uterine contractions, causing increased bleeding, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, abdominal pain, low back pain and other adverse reactions. Generally, the symptoms will be relieved after three months. If there is still no relief, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination and the IUD needs to be removed if necessary.

Sexual intercourse is prohibited within half a month after the IUD is inserted, otherwise it may easily cause gynecological inflammation. You can remove the IUD first, and then put it back in after the gynecological inflammation is cured. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment of gynecological inflammation. When having sex after recovery, be sure to make adequate preparations beforehand and wait until the vagina is completely moistened before having sex, otherwise it is easy to cause mucosal damage and lead to infection.

Generally speaking, for women who are temporarily uncomfortable after the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive device, after 1-3 months, the menstrual volume will gradually decrease, the menstrual period will gradually shorten, and return to normal. If the symptoms still do not improve after a period of treatment, or even tend to worsen, it is not suitable for women to place an intrauterine contraceptive device, and other methods of contraception should be used instead.
