What should women do if they become inflamed after getting an intrauterine device? What are the precautions after getting an IUD
Intrauterine device (IUD) is a contraceptive method used by women, which can effectively prevent pregnancy. However, no matter how small the procedure is, the presence of foreign objects in the body can cause discomfort for women.
In the early stage after IUD insertion, some women experience menstrual abnormalities, increased vaginal discharge, and lower back pain. However, there is no need to worry too much. Generally, these symptoms will gradually disappear within a few days after the IUD is placed. However, if the uncomfortable symptoms do not disappear and there is an odor instead, female friends must pay attention. Because the likelihood of infection with inflammation is high at this time.
1、 What to do with inflammation after getting an intrauterine device
1. Actively check
Women who are suspected to be infected after receiving an intrauterine device should actively go to the local hospital for examination, diagnose which gynecological disease they have, and then receive corresponding treatment based on the weight of the condition.
2. Reasonable medication
Female friends must adopt treatment methods based on their specific inflammation situation. Even when taking medication, it is necessary to use the medication under the guidance of a doctor and never use it on your own.
3. Following the doctor's instructions
After the diagnosis of inflammation, the doctor prescribes medication based on the condition. Women should not stop taking medication themselves when their symptoms improve after taking medication. They must take medication regularly according to the doctor's instructions, and continue to take the complete treatment program after the inflammation subsides. Otherwise, inflammation cannot be consolidated and treated, but instead will recur.
4. Contraindications to daily care
During the treatment of inflammation, women should avoid it. Don't eat hair, don't eat spicy and stimulating things. For example, chili peppers, shrimp and crabs, fatty meat, etc., bathing, swimming, rooms, etc. are also prohibited. In addition, the diet should be mainly light, supplement nutritional needs, and ensure sufficient rest.
2、 What precautions should be taken after getting an IUD
1. Generally, women should rest fully within 1-2 days after receiving an intrauterine device (IUD), and cannot engage in physical work within 1 week. The contraceptive ring may fall off or bleed
2. After getting an intrauterine device (IUD), attention should be paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of the private area. Clean the private area with clean water every day and keep it dry to avoid bacterial infection and inflammation.
3. If a woman discovers vaginal bleeding after undergoing an intrauterine device, she should learn to make judgments. If the amount of bleeding is twice the normal menstrual flow or if the bleeding lasts for a long time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination immediately. In addition, it is important to observe the contraceptive ring within three months after insertion, mainly to see if it has fallen off.
