Medical Video: 8 Causes of Bleeding After Sex With & Without Pain
KB Spiral, or better known as an IUD, is one of the contraceptive methods that is much in demand by Indonesian women. After installing an IUD, you and your partner can have sex without having to worry about being broken. Depending on the type, the IUD is effective in preventing pregnancy for up to 10 years. However, why do some women report their vagina bleeding after intercourse when using an IUD?
You may experience spots after attaching an IUD
Most women may experience mild spots of spots for several days after inserting an IUD. This is a temporary side effect that occurs naturally because the body is still adapting to the device.
On the other hand, some women may continue to experience spots between their menstrual schedules for months afterwards. These side effects will usually subside with time.
Vaginal bleeding after intercourse when using an IUD, is this normal?
If you later complain of cramps and pain during sex when it was never before, this might be because the position of the IUD has shifted from its place. Yes! IUDs can sometimes move on their own. It usually happens if the installation procedure is not right or because you are anxious and tense during the process.
Spiral KB should be pinned in the womb. When the position shifts and even slides down to the cervix, this can cause your vagina to bleed after having a relationship when using an IUD.
How do I know the position of the IUD has shifted?
At the bottom end of the IUD is a string of straps (string) which is quite long. That is why shortly after being placed in the womb, the doctor will cut a little of the rope.
You should be able to feel where the rope is. Once you realize that the rope is even shorter or longer than before, this is a sign that the position of the IUD has shifted. In some cases, shifting the position of the IUD can even pull the string into the vagina so that it looks like "swallowed".
Some of these conditions are more likely to make the IUD easy to move:
- Install an IUD in adolescence.
- Immediately install the IUD after giving birth.
- Painful menstruation.
How to handle it?
After 3-6 months, install an IUD, you should no longer have spots. Including during sex. If you experience pain or bleeding after having sex that is not fair, you should contact your doctor.
If it is correct because of the shifting position of the IUD, the doctor can justify the position again or re-pair with the new one. Remember, the position of a spiral birth control that is out of place can increase your risk of being pregnant.
If the cause is not your IUD tool, the doctor can help determine the exact cause and discuss the best treatment options for you.
So, are there other side effects from using an IUD?
The most common side effects of IUDs include:
- Irregular periods during the first few months.
- If you use a copper IUD, menstruation will come out more and PMS symptoms (abdominal cramps and back pain) are more painful.
- If you use a hormone IUD, menstruation tends to be much faster and lighter than usual, or even not menstruating at all.
- PMS-like symptoms, such as headaches, pimples and rheumatic pain in the breast with hormone IUDs
Your menstrual cycle is likely to return to normal after six months. If not, you should consult your doctor immediately.
