What should I do if my menstruation is irregular after having an IUD inserted?

Abnormal menstruation after IUD insertion may be a normal phenomenon or a pathological phenomenon, such as endometritis, cervicitis and other diseases.

1. Normal phenomenon

After the IUD is inserted, the endometrium will have a rejection reaction, and part of the endometrium may be damaged during the insertion. During the recovery process, symptoms such as prolonged menstruation and increased menstrual flow may occur. Usually, these are normal physiological phenomena and do not require special treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene and a balanced diet, and you can gradually return to normal.

2. Pathological phenomena

1. Endometritis:

If local hygiene is not paid attention to, it may lead to infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The bacteria will stimulate the endometrium, causing inflammation. Clinically, symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, abnormal menstruation, and increased secretions will appear. Patients can use metronidazole tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, doxycycline hydrochloride tablets and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Cervicitis:

Due to Chlamydia trachomatis infection, bacteria can stimulate the cervix, leading to cervical inflammation and lesions, which may cause clinical symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. Patients can use drugs such as azithromycin tablets, ofloxacin tablets, and norfloxacin tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the above factors, it may also be related to diseases such as irregular menstruation, candidal vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, uterine fibroids, etc. You should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
