Before having an IUD inserted, women should undergo a gynecological examination to determine whether they are suitable for it. For example, women with genital malformations or tumors, dysmenorrhea or heavy menstrual flow, pelvic inflammatory disease, gonorrhea, or those with severe anemia, heart disease, or a history of ectopic pregnancy are not suitable for IUD insertion. Therefore, it is necessary for women to undergo gynecological examination, routine leucorrhea examination, B-ultrasound and other examinations before having an IUD inserted.

The examination items include gynecological examination and routine blood test. The person who has the ring removed needs to undergo peritoneal dialysis to check the position of the ring. This is because inserting an IUD when there is inflammation will aggravate the pelvic inflammation, causing the original inflammation to worsen, resulting in abdominal pain, fever, and increased white blood cell count. Moreover, the IUD is an exogenous substance, and the body will have a certain degree of rejection. If the IUD is inserted without curing the disease, it is easy to cause infection. Therefore, before having an IUD inserted, a pelvic examination should be done to rule out reproductive tract infection before the IUD can be inserted.

Some women may also experience increased menstruation, prolonged menstrual periods, or bloody vaginal discharge. Studies have shown that this is due to the IUD stimulating the endometrium, causing tissue chemical changes and producing local coagulation disorders.
