Can I remove the ring if there is inflammation?

IUD is a very common long-term contraceptive method. In daily life, many people use this method for contraception. However, with the opening of the second-child policy in recent years, many families have begun to plan to have a second child. If they want a second child, they need to remove the IUD first. However, many women find that they have gynecological inflammation when removing the IUD. I wonder if they can still remove the IUD if they have inflammation when removing the IUD?

Can I remove the ring if there is inflammation?

The IUD cannot be removed if there is inflammation. It is recommended that you can choose to remove the IUD after improving vaginal cleanliness through vaginal irrigation and insertion of vaginal objects, and choose to do it 2-3 days after the menstruation ends, but no later than 7 days, to prevent endometriosis. Gynecological inflammation is inevitable for many women. When removing the IUD, you should pay special attention to gynecological inflammation. If you have gynecological inflammation, you must cure it first, otherwise it will cause certain harm to the woman's body.

1. First of all, there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after the IUD removal, which usually disappears naturally within a week and does not require any treatment. If there is excessive bleeding, abdominal pain, or fever, you should seek medical attention promptly. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Wash the vulva with clean water every night. Do not use your hands to clean the vagina. Do not have sexual intercourse, take a bath in a tub, swim, or take a sauna within 2 weeks.

2. Secondly, for the sake of health, you can eat foods with high protein content after removing the IUD. In addition, you can just choose more blood-enriching foods and there is no need to make special dietary adjustments. Common blood-enriching foods in life include: brown sugar, longan, red dates, black beans, etc. By eating more of this kind of food and getting enough rest, your body will be able to quickly adapt to the changes in your uterus.

3. Again, after removing the IUD, take appropriate amounts of anti-infection and hemostatic drugs as instructed by the doctor.

4. Finally, if the woman still wants to get pregnant, soon after the IUD is removed, its effect of interfering with the combination of sperm and egg will disappear, and the endometrium will return to normal. Studies have shown that 75% of women can become pregnant within 6 months after IUD removal. 90% of women can become pregnant within 1 year after IUD removal. Moreover, if pregnancy occurs after the IUD is removed, there will be no impact on the development of the fetus. However, in order to allow the endometrium to repair well, after removing the IUD, you should use other contraceptive methods for 1 to 3 months before getting pregnant.

What to do if you get an infection after the ring is removed

1. Do not blindly use lotion during treatment

Inflammation is the most common gynecological disease, and more than 40% of patients are caused by improper cleaning methods. The female vagina is an acidic environment with a self-cleaning function. Long-term use of washing liquid to clean the lower body will kill the vaginal bacteria that are beneficial to the body, reduce local resistance, and increase the chance of infection.

2. Do not use large amounts of antibiotics for treatment

The direct consequence of excessive use of antibiotics is that the bacteria develop drug resistance, which destroys the restrictive relationship between vaginal flora, leading to vigorous fungal growth, continuous extension of treatment cycles, and continuous increase in drug dosages, and the disease cannot be effectively treated.

3. During treatment, you must follow the course of treatment

When most women perform self-medication, they often rely on their subjective feelings. Once their symptoms have improved and their leucorrhea has returned to normal, they believe that the disease is cured, and they stop taking the medicine immediately. Gynecological treatment experts point out that there is a relatively strict concept of treatment course for the treatment of gynecological inflammation. It is necessary to stop when the condition improves. If the course of treatment is not followed, and there is no "remaining courage to pursue the enemy", the infection will mostly rebound again.
