What should I do if I have stomach pain after IUD removal?

Nowadays, many women choose to use the IUD for contraception. The success rate of the IUD is very high, but many women experience abdominal pain after IUD insertion and removal. Therefore, patients need to pay attention to taking appropriate treatment methods to ensure the health of female patients. So what should I do if I have abdominal pain after IUD removal?

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 optimal time, the body can recover as quickly as possible after the surgery.

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.

If the patient experiences abdominal pain when removing the IUD, it is likely that something went wrong during the removal of the IUD. Therefore, once the patient has this problem, they should consult a doctor in a timely manner to take treatment measures. This will avoid the situation where the patient suffers from gynecological diseases due to problems after removing the IUD.
