Stomach Cramps And Bleeding After Unprotected Sex. On IUD. Why Is This Happening?
Hi my gf whom lives in America has an iud in place which she has had for 6 months, she came to stay for 10 days where we had unprotected sex. The last time we had inter course was 5 days ago, but the last two days she has been complaining of stomach cramps and that she had bled like she was on her period. Could you please advise on why this has occurred ? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Some amount of breakthrough bleeding can be seen while using the intra uterine device.
And also the possibility of infection is more with IUDs.
So if she is continuously having the problem, better to consult gynecologist once and get examined to rule out the possibility of pelvic inflammatory disease.
Meanwhile she can take symptomatic treatment.
Take care.
