LITERATURE REVIEW : RELATIONSHIP OF MENORRGHAGIA AND ANEMIA IN IUD KB ACCEPTERS

Abstract

The IUD has several side effects, one of which is menorrhagia. Menorrhagia is menstrual bleeding that is heavy
and longer than normal, ie > 7 days and changing pads 5-6 times per day and 60-80cc of blood issued. The number
of erythrocytes that come out during menstruation can cause anemia. The purpose of this study was to determine
the relationship between menorrhagia and anemia in IUD family planning acceptors. This article uses a literature
review study method from scientific journals with the keywords IUD, menorrhagia, anemia as a guide. There were
5 scientific journals selected from research journals related to the research topic, namely the relationship between
menorrhagia and anemia in IUD family planning acceptors. From the results of the literature review that has been
presented, all articles explain the results of the study of the relationship between menorrhagia and anemia in IUD
family planning acceptors. The insertion of an Intra Uterine Device (IUD) can cause an increase in the
concentration of plasminogen activators (enzymes that break down proteins and activate the dissolution of blood
clots) in the endometrium, and these enzymes cause increased fibrinolytic activity and inhibit blood clotting,
resulting in more bleeding and bleeding. cause anemia. Based on the results of the literature review, it can be
concluded that there is a relationship between menorrhagia and anemia in IUD family planning acceptors
