After the IUD is inserted, the menstrual period always lasts for nearly ten days

How to better prevent pregnancy has always been a concern for people. Couples who already have children and do not want to have more children must use contraception. It is definitely not good for women's health if they always get pregnant and have abortions. Nowadays, many people choose to use IUDs for contraception. This method is convenient and long-lasting. However, you should also pay attention to choosing the right contraceptive ring when inserting it, because if the IUD does not fit well, it may cause irregular menstruation or even gynecological diseases.

Under normal circumstances, there will be a small amount of bleeding after the IUD is inserted, and the amount of bleeding will not exceed the menstrual volume. It is normal to have an IUD inserted in the second half of the menstrual cycle to cause increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period. If the menstrual flow is still heavy more than half a year after the IUD was inserted, it is considered abnormal.

If bacteria or viruses are brought into the uterine cavity during IUD insertion or if personal hygiene is not taken seriously after IUD insertion, it can easily cause uterine cavity infection, resulting in excessive bleeding, prolonged menstruation, dysmenorrhea, etc., which rarely happen in regular hospitals. Infection may occur for those who have a history of genital tract inflammation, or have sex too early or frequently after the IUD is inserted (how long after the IUD is inserted can you have sex). The ring itself may be deformed, twisted, or positioned abnormally, which may also cause increased bleeding or dysmenorrhea. If this happens, you should consider changing the ring to reduce the needle shape.

In addition, if you already have coagulation disorders, chronic endometritis or other diseases, or if you have heavy menstruation, forcing an IUD into the vagina will also cause heavy menstrual flow. After 3 to 6 months, as the uterus adapts to the ring and coexists peacefully with it, the symptoms of heavy menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual duration after the insertion of the ring will gradually ease or disappear. If the bleeding is heavy and lasts for a long time, hemostatic drugs and appropriate antibacterial drugs can be used to prevent infection.

If there is an abnormal increase in menstrual flow after the IUD is inserted and treatment is ineffective, you should go to the hospital and have the doctor remove the IUD, or replace it with another one. Removing and replacing an IUD is a very painful process, but you have to endure it for your health. Therefore, it is recommended that you find a regular hospital and a professional doctor when doing an IUD insertion operation for the first time to improve the effect of the operation.
