What should I pay attention to after having the Mirena IUD inserted?

After inserting the Mirena IUD, regular check-ups are necessary. Sexual intercourse should be avoided within the first month after insertion. Patients may experience light vaginal bleeding during the first three months following IUD placement, which is mainly due to a local sterile inflammatory reaction. Therefore, avoid using sanitary pads or tampons, do not insert anything into the vagina, and refrain from pulling or removing the IUD strings. Keep the area clean by changing underwear frequently and maintaining good hygiene.
