What should I do if I have abnormal menstruation after wearing an IUD?

Clinically, intrauterine device refers to the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive device. After the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive device, menstrual abnormalities are caused by reasons such as the body not yet fully recovered, local infection, endometrial polyps, etc. It can be treated by strengthening life care, oral medication, surgery, etc.

1. The body has not fully recovered: After the placement of the intrauterine contraceptive device, it will cause changes in the intrauterine environment, making it impossible for the fertilized egg to implant normally, thus playing a contraceptive role. This operation is an invasive operation, and the soft tissue in the uterus cannot immediately return to normal in a short period of time, so it may affect the normal shedding of the endometrium and cause abnormal menstruation. Generally speaking, after the body has fully recovered, this phenomenon can gradually decrease and disappear. At this time, you should maintain a reasonable lifestyle to help your body recover.

2. Local infection: After the placement of the intrauterine contraceptive device, if personal hygiene care is not strengthened, infection may occur. Inflammation will constantly stimulate the endometrium, manifesting as lower abdominal pain, changes in menstrual cycle, abnormal menstrual flow, etc. Amoxicillin capsules, cefuroxime granules, cefuroxime axetil granules and other drugs can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Endometrial polyps: The cause of this disease is related to excessive estrogen levels. After the disease occurs, it will cause compression to the surrounding tissues, affecting the normal structure and physiological function of the uterus, leading to menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation, shortened menstrual cycle, etc. When the surgical conditions are met, it can be treated by endometrial polypectomy.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, if it is caused by uterine fibroids, it can be treated through hysterectomy under the guidance of a doctor. If you have any discomfort, you should go to the hospital's gynecology department in time.
