After giving birth, some women who do not have any plans to have children in the later stage will go to the hospital to have an intrauterine device (IUD) contraceptive measure. Generally, contraceptive rings have a lifespan, some are limited to five years, while others are limited to ten years, and so on. If the age limit is exceeded, it is necessary to go to the hospital for ring replacement or removal surgery. So, what should be noted before removing the ring?
Before removing the intrauterine device (IUD), it is important to ensure that your menstrual cycle is clean. It is generally recommended to go to the hospital 3-7 days after the end of your menstrual period for the IUD removal surgery. And it's best not to have sexual activity for a week before removing the ring. On the day before removing the ring, it is also important to avoid medication in the vagina. Pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of your private parts in daily life to avoid bacterial infections.
Before removing the intrauterine device, it is necessary to follow the advice of a professional doctor and undergo a series of relevant examinations, such as blood routine, vaginal discharge routine, and ultrasound examination. If a woman is diagnosed with gynecological inflammation, targeted treatment is necessary. After the inflammation is cured, the IUD removal surgery can be performed. Otherwise, it is not conducive to the recovery of physical health after the IUD removal surgery.
After removing the intrauterine device, women may experience discomfort or mild pain in the lower abdomen, and some may also experience vaginal bleeding. Generally, this condition will gradually improve. If a woman experiences severe vaginal bleeding after removing an intrauterine device (IUD) and the pain in her abdomen and waist persists for a long time, it is important to inform the doctor promptly for detailed examination and treatment.
