Abnormal bleeding that occurs after using an intrauterine device (IUD) for many years can be treated with medication or by removing the IUD. If abnormal bleeding occurs after long-term IUD use, hemostatic agents can be taken for treatment. Since an IUD is a foreign body, it usually takes about three months for the body to adapt. It's also important to maintain local hygiene in daily life, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and wear breathable underwear. If symptoms do not improve, the IUD should be removed.
