2. Bleeding: Most women will have a small amount of bleeding 3-4 days after the insertion of the IUD. This can stimulate the uterus to contract, and can also quickly scratch the cervical canal or endometrium and cause bleeding. Therefore, for some women, bleeding after IUD insertion generally does not require treatment and will heal on its own after a week. Occasionally, red discharge or small amounts of bleeding may occur, which can be stopped with general hemostasis.
