After eight months of wearing the IUD, every time you have a heavy menstrual flow, if you can tolerate it, you don’t need to deal with it. If the excessive menstrual flow causes a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, you should remove the IUD.
The IUD generally refers to the placement of a birth control ring inside the uterus. Excessive menstrual flow is a common side effect, which is mainly related to the copper ions contained in the IUD. If a woman with an IUD has heavy menstrual flow every time for eight months, but her body can tolerate it, she does not experience discomfort and is not anemic, she does not need to be treated.
However, if excessive menstrual bleeding causes symptoms of anemia such as weakness, easy fatigue and dizziness, hemostatic drugs such as tranexamic acid can be given, which can reduce bleeding. If medication is ineffective, the IUD needs to be removed.
It is recommended to keep the local area clean and observe regularly after wearing the IUD. If excessive menstruation or even discomfort occurs, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital to deal with the problem, and under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate medication to stop bleeding, if conservative treatment is ineffective, it is necessary to remove the ring and choose other suitable contraceptive methods.
