Can I remove the ring before my period?

In order to prevent accidental pregnancy, many female friends will have an IUD inserted in their body, but after a certain period of time, the IUD must be removed and replaced with a new one. However, try not to do this operation during menstruation, otherwise it may cause more serious consequences. If you are not careful, you may even suffer heavy bleeding during the operation.

1. If the inserted ring has reached the prescribed period, you should go to the hospital to remove the ring in time to avoid deformation or failure of the ring in the uterus. Generally, metal rings can be stored for 20 years, silicone rubber V-rings can be stored for 7 to 10 years, and copper sleeve T-rings can be stored for 10 to 15 years. A new ring can be put in while removing the ring.

2. Before removing the ring, you should first undergo an X-ray fluoroscopy or "B" type ultrasound examination. For a ring with a tail thread, ask the doctor to dilate the vaginal opening to see if there is any nylon thread outside the uterine opening to confirm that the ring is in the uterine cavity before removing it. The best time to remove the ring is within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over, which can reduce bleeding.

3. Come to the hospital to remove the IUD within 3 to 5 days after your period ends (no sexual intercourse).

4. Take appropriate amount of anti-infection and hemostatic drugs after removing the IUD.

5. If there are obvious changes in the menstrual cycle during menopause, such as the cycle becomes longer or menopause lasts for more than 6 months, the ring should be removed in time.

Generally speaking, the pain caused by IUD removal is within the acceptable range for women, but for the sake of your own health, it is recommended that you choose painless IUD removal. There will be no pain during the operation, but you may experience slight lower abdominal discomfort, back pain or a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the day of IUD removal. This is normal and will disappear after a period of adjustment. If the surgery can be performed at the best time, the body can recover as quickly as possible after the surgery. Pay attention to whether the nutrition is balanced and eat less spicy, sour, raw and cold food.

1. After removing the IUD, you can eat foods with high protein content. 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.

2. After removing the IUD, you should also pay attention to eating less spicy, sour, raw, cold, and other irritating foods to ensure the nutrition your body needs every day. Pay attention to balanced nutrition. Heavy supplements are not good for everyone. So, just ensure a light diet.
