What should I do if my period remains irregular after getting an IUD?
Disease description:
Since having an IUD inserted, my menstrual bleeding has never completely stopped, which is very bothersome. I would like to ask: what should I do about persistent menstrual bleeding after getting an IUD?

Persistent menstrual bleeding after IUD insertion may result from irritation caused by the foreign body in the lower abdomen, especially when not promptly diagnosed and treated, leading to endometritis. If external genital hygiene and cleanliness are neglected after IUD placement, local inflammatory infections may develop, causing conditions such as vaginitis, which can also lead to this symptom. Additionally, pre-existing endocrine disorders themselves may contribute to persistent menstrual irregularities following IUD insertion.
