China has always adopted the policy of family planning, whether the previous one-child policy or the subsequent two-child policy. Regardless of the policy, contraception is indispensable.
There are many methods of contraception, and the use of an intrauterine device (IUD) for post-menopausal women is undoubtedly both simple and reliable. So what exactly is "post-insertion bleeding"? Why does the IUD cause bleeding? And how long is normal bleeding after the insertion? Post-insertion bleeding is a relatively simple operation for contraception, known for its longevity and effectiveness, and is widely used by women of childbearing age in China.
Although IUD has many advantages, it also often causes some adverse physical reactions such as bleeding.
The insertion of an IUD (Intrauterine Device) into the uterus is a minor surgical procedure, but it does involve the introduction of foreign material. Naturally, this can lead to an allergic reaction and necessitate a period of adaptation before the body can return to normal.
This reaction is manifested in the uterus attempting to contract to expel the ring, and during this adaptation process, some people do not feel the action of the uterus, while others often experience bleeding.
Bleeding is reflected in a small amount of vaginal bleeding, or abnormal reactions during menstruation, such as shortening or lengthening of menstruation, increasing menstrual volume, etc.
The main reason for these conditions is that the endometrium is compressed by the ring, and at the same time, inflammatory infiltration of cells in the uterus occurs, leading to bleeding.
This situation usually disappears after a period of time, because as time goes on, the uterus has adapted to the existence of the ring and naturally will not reject it.
Why does it bleed after wearing the ring? The validity period of placing contraceptive rings in the uterus is generally as long as ten years, but bleeding often occurs one week after placement. Many women are very panicked about this and are afraid that they will be infected with some serious gynecological disease. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon.
So, why does it bleed after wearing the ring? The main reasons for bleeding after the ring are as follows: one is that the cervical canal was scraped during the ring; the other is that the endometrium was scraped during the ring; and the third is that the endometrium was rubbed and compressed by the ring.
The bleeding caused by these factors often stops after the wound has healed.
Bleeding is often accompanied by mild waist soreness, low back pain and increased leucorrhea.
The former is caused by contraction of the uterus just after the ring is placed on the ring. It is important to pay attention to not doing heavy work during this period. The latter is caused by stimulation of the uterus, which increases cervical secretions.
These conditions will alleviate and then disappear after a period of time.
So, if the bleeding only occurs for a few days and no more than a week, this is normal and there is no need to worry.
However, if the bleeding continues for a long time after one week and the amount of bleeding is excessive, you need to go to the hospital for examination.
How long after the insertion of a ring does bleeding occur? Many women experience bleeding after inserting an IUD. Although bleeding after the insertion of an IUD is often considered normal and not cause for concern, if bleeding lasts longer than usual, it warrants attention. How many days does bleeding after the insertion of an IUD occur? How long is bleeding considered normal? Generally, bleeding occurs 3-4 days after the insertion of an IUD. The reason for this bleeding condition has been mentioned above; this type of bleeding typically lasts less than a week and does not exceed the amount of menstrual blood.
This is a normal immune response or the process of wound healing, and there is no need for additional treatment.
However, if bleeding continues one week later, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly at a hospital.
Meanwhile, it is possible that menstruation may experience abnormal reactions within three months after the insertion of a ring.
For example, if the menstrual cycle is shortened or prolonged, the amount of menstrual blood increased, or there is incomplete bleeding.
The cause of this situation is the existence of an intrauterine contraceptive device, which has led to a chemical change in the tissue of the endometrium and caused local coagulation disorders.
Therefore, the material of the contraceptive ring is particularly important. Plastic or copper-containing contraceptive rings will increase the bleeding rate, followed by metal contraceptive rings, and the one with the lowest bleeding rate is progesterone containing contraceptive rings.
The duration of bleeding is also related to the individual's constitution, but it generally does not exceed 15 days.
Hemorrhage in the same chamber after band ring is currently the first choice for many women after giving birth, but band rings will definitely have a certain degree of impact on the woman's body.
For example, if you can't have the same room for a period of time after you have just entered the ring, you can have the same room for at least one week, and preferably three weeks later. However, some women still experience bleeding in the same room three weeks after having a ring. What is the reason and what should we do? Hemorrhage in the same chamber occurs after the ring is used, mainly because the contraceptive ring acts as a foreign body in the uterus and has mechanical compression. This compression in turn leads to local damage to the endometrium, which in severe cases can lead to cell necrosis or Ulcer, thus presenting as bleeding. Sharing the same room under these conditions will inevitably lead to bleeding and the ring will easily fall off.
If bleeding occurs three weeks after the insertion of a ring, it may be due to sexual stimulation causing anomalies in the positioning of the ring. It is best to seek medical examination and undergo a B-ultrasound scan to determine if the ring has moved or even fallen out.
Therefore, if bleeding occurs during intercourse after the introduction of a contraceptive ring, it is advisable to stop sexual activity and wait for a period until the body no longer rejects the contraceptive ring before attempting intercourse again.
If this situation persists, it should be seen a hospital for treatment. If the treatment is ineffective, an IUD may be considered.
What should I do if there is bleeding after the installation of a ring? Although bleeding after the installation of a ring is a normal adaptive process for most women and does not require concern or special treatment.
However, after experiencing bleeding following the placement of a ring, there are several precautions that can help alleviate the bleeding or address specific situations.
1. Pay attention to your diet, and try to consume more foods rich in iron, such as liver and walnuts.
2. Pay attention to rest and avoid excessive physical labor. It is best to rest for a day or two after releasing the ring.
3. After inserting the intrauterine device, it is important to regularly clean the vulva. Do not use a sitting position for bathing for two weeks, and avoid sexual intercourse for three weeks to prevent infection.
4. Pay attention to any abnormal situations; if there is excessive vaginal bleeding, prolonged bleeding, or changes in the position of the contraceptive device or its removal, it is advisable to seek medical examination promptly.
5. Regular examinations are required following the first menstrual period following ring placement; a second examination is needed within three to six months after placement; the third examination should be conducted twelve months post-insertion, and thereafter, an annual check-up is recommended.
6. If there is a prolonged bleeding after the insertion of an intrauterine device or if the condition does not improve after treatment, it should be considered to replace the intrauterine device or to use another method of contraception.
