What to do if you have bleeding during intercourse after having an IUD inserted

We all know about many contraceptive methods, but I wonder if you have ever had the experience of your wife or girlfriend's vaginal discharge after an IUD was inserted. I believe you would be very anxious at that time. How could it be so, why is my body itchy, can I continue to have sex, will I get pregnant. It’s embarrassing to ask friends and relatives, and it’s also embarrassing to ask a doctor next year. Let me tell you what we should do at this time.

A small amount of bleeding during intercourse within a short period of time after the IUD is inserted is due to the abrasion of the endometrium when the IUD is placed. The bleeding usually lasts for a few days and the amount of blood does not exceed the menstrual volume, so no treatment is required. If the IUD is inserted in the second half of the menstrual cycle, because the endometrium is in the secretory phase, the endometrium is thickened and rich in blood vessels, bleeding may be heavy, so the IUD should be inserted within 3-7 days after the menstruation ends.

After having an IUD inserted, some women will experience increased menstruation, some will have prolonged periods and spotting, and some will have leucorrhea mixed with blood and in large amounts. Studies have shown that this is due to the IUD stimulating the endometrium and causing tissue chemical changes, which in turn produces local coagulation disorders. The incidence of bleeding is also related to the material of the IUD. Plastic and copper-containing IUDs have a higher incidence of bleeding, while metal rings have a lower incidence, and those containing progesterone have the lowest.

If the endometrium is thick when the IUD is inserted and the patient's physical condition is not very good, the stimulation of the IUD may increase the amount of postoperative bleeding. If the IUD is inserted in the second half of the cycle or close to the menstrual period, the thickness of the endometrium is sufficient to cause menstrual-like bleeding.

In addition, experts point out that most people will experience an increase in menstrual flow after having an IUD inserted. This is also one of the side effects of contraceptive ring. The reason is that the IUD will activate the plasmin activity in the blood circulation of the uterine area, promoting the fibers involved in hemostasis and coagulation.

The above is what I introduced to you about the reasons for beginners after having an IUD. I hope that my friends will not be anxious about this issue. I suggest that friends in need go to the hospital for examination to see if they are suitable for having an IUD. I hope my information can be helpful to everyone. At the same time, it is also recommended that everyone remember to go to the hospital in time if they have any difficulties!
