Why does my back hurt after IUD removal?

Some female friends choose to have an IUD inserted for contraception, but after the IUD is inserted, it has to be removed. Some women will not have any symptoms when the IUD is removed, while some women will experience symptoms of lower back pain after the removal. So what exactly is the reason for the lower back pain after the removal of the IUD? Let's take a look. I hope the following content will be helpful to every mother.

Lower back pain after IUD removal may be due to improper positioning of the IUD at the time, or excessive retroversion of the uterus, causing the IUD to compress or stimulate the sacral ligament nerves. However, this type of lower back pain is the rarest in clinical practice. In view of this, women who experience lower back pain after IUD removal do not mistakenly believe that it is caused by the IUD, but should seek medical treatment in time and not remove the IUD blindly.

The function of the IUD is to interfere with the combination of sperm and egg to achieve the purpose of contraception. Some women worry about the problem of lower back pain after removing the IUD. Experts show that vaginal bleeding will usually stop one week after the IUD removal surgery. There will be lower back pain at first, but it will disappear soon.

In order to avoid back pain after removing the IUD, women should grasp the time of removing the IUD.

Generally speaking, it is appropriate for menopausal women to remove the IUD six months to one year after menopause. Although the estrogen level has dropped at this time, the uterus has not yet shrunk significantly. Not only is the IUD removal process simple, but it is also less painful and will not cause back pain. It is very beneficial to the health of female friends. Menopausal women should never neglect to remove the IUD in time for fear of trouble.

In fact, low back pain is a common symptom, especially in women. According to expert statistics, 10-15% of patients visiting gynecological clinics are suffering from low back pain. There are many causes of low back pain in women, such as common acute and chronic lumbar and sacroiliac joint diseases, nervous system diseases, lumbar muscle sprains, intervertebral disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, bone hyperplasia, osteoporosis, sciatica, cervical spondylosis, cold and so on.

Therefore, if this happens during the process of removing the IUD, you must first distinguish these factors and choose symptomatic treatment based on these factors. If there is inflammation, you must give yourself anti-inflammatory treatment in time. Also remember to keep your local area clean and hygienic after removing the IUD.
