Hello,

You are suffering from light spotting, bloating and pain after Copper coil insertion. You are experiencing the side effects of the IUD insertion. Once the system adjusts with the device your symptoms will reduce. Your symptoms may take 3-5 months to become normal, though in some patients the symptoms may be reduced in only 1-3 months. These changes occur due to hormonal imbalance, slowly the body adjusts with the changes.

You can take antacids or PPIs, one SOS when needed to prevent bloating. Take food in time, do not skip meals and stay at rest. In case the symptoms become too uncomfortable, get a follow up clinical examination done by a Gynae so that perforation or any other ailment can be detected so that the pathology can be treated at the earliest. Stay away from addictions if any.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
