After the IUD was inserted, the menstrual flow was small and dark

Women have IUDs inserted as a contraceptive measure, but some women experience irregular menstruation or dark menstrual discharge after having the IUD inserted. In this case, they should seek medical treatment in time to find out the cause of the disease. If it is caused by the IUD, the IUD can be removed. Let’s understand why the menstrual flow is small and dark in color after having an IUD inserted?

1. What is the reason for dark menstrual period after IUD insertion?

This symptom may be related to the problem of irregular menstruation caused by the stimulation of the intrauterine mucosa after the ring is inserted.

Suggestions: This requires more rest, avoid staying up late and fatigue, avoid eating spicy food and cold food. Observe and see. If it does not get better, you need to go to the hospital for a physical examination and B-ultrasound to check the condition of the ring, and then see if you need to remove the contraceptive ring or take medication.

Gynecologists say that women are very worried when the menstrual flow is small and dark in color. Generally, this situation occurs because the dark color of the menstrual period is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the menstrual flow accumulates in the uterine cavity for a long time. Low menstrual volume refers to a smaller amount of menstrual flow than usual during menarche, which is mostly caused by deficiency of qi and blood, qi stagnation and blood stasis, blood stasis, cold stagnation of blood vessels, and phlegm obstruction.

Therefore, experts recommend that female friends who experience this situation should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

Menstruation is caused by the stimulation of the uterine wall by the hormone secreted by the ovaries. The hormone secreted by the ovaries is controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and the hypothalamus-hypophysis. Therefore, no matter whether it is the uterus, ovaries, hypothalamus, or hypothalamus that have abnormal functions, it will affect the menstruation. There are two reasons for irregular menstruation, less menstrual flow and darker color:
