What are the precautions after removing the ring? Six things you must know!

Women who have given birth have installed IUDs for the purpose of contraception. Since the second-child policy was opened, many female friends want to have two babies, so IUD removal surgery is imperative! So, what are the precautions after the ring is removed?

Precautions after removing the ring

1. In the first month after the IUD is inserted, some women may experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting, which may sometimes recur in the following months. Some women may experience prolonged menstruation and heavy menstrual bleeding, especially in the first 1 to 3 menstrual cycles. These are all normal phenomena and do not require special treatment. They will gradually recover in the future. If the bleeding time is too long, you can take antibiotics appropriately to prevent infection and go to the hospital for treatment if necessary.

2. You need to rest for 2 days after IUD placement and 1 day after IUD removal. It is not advisable to do excessive physical labor within 1 week after the ring is placed, especially squatting, to prevent increased bleeding or the ring from falling off.

3. If some women have entered menopause, have menstrual disorders or have already reached menopause, the IUD should be removed at this time, preferably within one year after menopause. When removing the IUD after menopause for more than one year, the operation will be more difficult and dangerous due to the decline of ovarian function, low estrogen levels, atrophy of the vaginal mucosa, and gradual atrophy of the uterus.

4. Check the IUD once after the first menstrual period and three months after placement. After that, the IUD should be inserted once a year and a gynecological examination should be done once a year to determine whether the IUD has fallen out.

5. Within 3 months after the IUD removal surgery, when there is heavy menstrual bleeding or constipation, you should pay attention to check whether the ring has fallen off, and pay attention to keeping the bowels open.

After removing the IUD, keep the vagina clean and hygienic, wash the genitals with warm water every day, and avoid catching cold. Do not have sex within two weeks, and do not take a sitz bath or tub bath to prevent infection and inflammation, which will not be conducive to a speedy recovery after IUD removal. This is also one of the precautions for removing IUD.
