After getting the IUD, my menstruation has been irregular and I have been bleeding. What's wrong?

Irregular menstruation and bleeding after IUD placement may be caused by IUD stimulation, endocrine disorders, endometritis, etc.

1. Intrauterine device stimulation: If the intrauterine device is just placed, consider that the intrauterine device stimulates the endometrium, causing endometrial damage and irregular bleeding. Generally, no special treatment is required and it will gradually heal over time.

2. Endocrine disorders: It may be due to mental stress, staying up late for a long time and other reasons, which will cause excessive or insufficient hormone production in the body, causing irregular shedding of the endometrium and abnormal bleeding. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can use drugs such as Wu Ji Bai Feng Pills, progesterone capsules, and Motherwort Granules for treatment.

3. Endometritis: Taking into account the reasons of infection, decreased body immunity, etc., bacterial invasion will spread along the reproductive system and release inflammatory factors. Under the stimulation of inflammation, the uterus will become congested and swollen, bleed, and have abdominal pain and other symptoms. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice to use amoxicillin capsules, doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules and other drugs for treatment.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by coagulation disorders, uterine polyps, uterine fibroids, etc. If the patient has other discomfort symptoms, he needs to seek medical attention in time and not blindly take medicine. Usually, be careful not to eat spicy foods such as ginger, garlic, and peppers, which will help relieve symptoms.
