Due to the limited duration of use of intrauterine devices (IUDs), many women who have had them during their reproductive age wait until menopause. In order to alleviate the physical discomfort caused by IUDs, women will go to the hospital for an IUD removal surgery. Do they need anesthesia to remove the IUD?
Although women may experience some pain when removing an intrauterine device (IUD), it generally does not cause strong pain and the pain range is tolerable for women. Therefore, there is no need to administer anesthesia during IUD removal. However, if women have low pain sensation and are afraid of pain, they can request the doctor to administer anesthesia before removing the IUD, which can alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by the procedure.
In addition, women should not only undergo a comprehensive physical examination before the removal of the intrauterine device, but also make sufficient psychological preparations and corresponding measures to avoid postoperative infections. Before the ring removal surgery, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's instructions and avoid drinking water to avoid affecting the surgical effect and ensure the smooth progress of the surgery.
Generally speaking, intrauterine devices (IUDs) have a expiration date. If they remain in a woman's body for a long time or exceed their expiration date, they are prone to deformation, failure, and other issues, which can seriously endanger women's health. So women should not be afraid to go to the hospital for an IUD removal surgery because they are worried that it will be painful. They should have a correct understanding of IUD removal knowledge and try to remove the contraceptive ring within a certain period of time to avoid accidents.
