Mirena IUD removal process

Many women choose to have an IUD for contraceptive surgery, but with the development of the second-child policy, many women want to have another child, so they take the IUD out. Some people are afraid of the pain of removing the IUD and dare not go to the hospital. So, what is the whole process of removing the IUD like? Today we will learn about it. What is the whole process of removing the IUD like?

What is the whole process of removing the IUD?

Step 1: Routine physical examination before removing the IUD

It is necessary to avoid the menstrual period when removing the IUD. Generally, you should go to the hospital 3-7 days after the end of the menstrual period. At this time, you need to do a series of tests, including routine physical examination of secretions, blood tests and B-ultrasound examination, as well as to determine the location of the ring. These are all preparations for the successful removal of the IUD.

If you have cervicitis or vaginitis, you must treat the inflammation first and then remove the IUD, otherwise it will cause intrauterine infection. Don't remove the IUD in a hurry and bring yourself more pain.

Second: Safe and rapid IUD removal surgery

For experts in regular hospitals, removing the IUD is a minimally invasive operation and will not cause much pain, so female friends do not need to worry too much, especially since removing the IUD is also a painless operation. As long as the patient can cooperate, she will not feel any pain at all. Experts will complete the removal operation in a very short time, and the whole process only takes a few minutes.

Third: Appropriate anti-inflammatory solution after removing the IUD

After removing the IUD, there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower back discomfort, which is all normal. In order to avoid infection and speed up the repair of the uterine wall, you need to take painkillers for a few days. Generally speaking, removing the IUD is a very simple and quick small-scale surgical treatment, which is not likely to affect your daily life and work.

When the IUD is placed in a woman's uterus for too long, it will grow together with the body. Some women have kept the IUD in their uterus for 5 or even 10 years. In this case, there will undoubtedly be some traction when removing the IUD, causing some pain. Many women know how to protect their bodies, so they remove the IUD. In many hospitals, many women choose to remove the IUD.

Painless IUD removal uses safe and effective anesthetics, and is then fully supervised by nanometer instruments. Experts remove the IUD accurately and quickly under visual conditions. The entire process takes only a few minutes, without any pain, little damage to the uterus, little bleeding, and quick recovery.

How long does it take to remove the IUD?

The entire IUD removal operation usually lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Of course, the type of contraceptive ring used by women when they have the ring inserted and whether the position of the contraceptive ring is normal will also affect the time of the ring removal operation. When choosing to remove the IUD, you need to go to a reliable hospital clinic to avoid infection.

The whole process of removing the IUD is exactly the opposite of that of inserting the IUD. You can just use the IUD removal hook to remove the ring. Generally, the operation is short. However, there are some special cases where surgical treatment may be difficult or even unsuccessful in removing the IUD (such as prolonged menopause, IUD incarceration or rupture, etc.).

General IUD removal surgery can be performed in general hospital outpatient clinics, but complicated IUD removal surgery (such as previous unsuccessful IUD removal) should be performed in the hospital by experienced doctors. If necessary, the IUD can be removed under B-ultrasound guidance or hysteroscopy.

Common problems after removing the IUD

(1) Take adequate rest and avoid strenuous physical activity

The human body is generally weaker after removing the IUD, so it is generally necessary to rest for 1-2 days after removing the IUD and do not do heavy physical work within a week to prevent bleeding.

(2) Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection

After removing the IUD, the vulva should be cleaned every day to keep it clean. Do not take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks, and do not have sexual intercourse within 2 weeks to prevent infection.

(3) Pay attention and observe

Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and the falling of the ring. If you find that there is a lot of vaginal bleeding, more than twice the normal amount of menstrual blood or the bleeding time is longer, or the changes in the menstrual cycle are more obvious, you should go to the hospital for examination.

(4) Regular maintenance

Generally, the first checkup after removing the IUD is after the first menstruation, the second checkup is within 3-6 months after removing the IUD, and the third checkup is a follow-up visit 12 months after removing the IUD, and then a follow-up visit once a year.

(5) Pay attention to nutritional supplements

After removing the IUD, you should pay attention to a healthy diet and appropriately increase nutrition, especially eat more foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, liver, tripe, eggs and other foods. You can also eat more legumes and increase vegetables and fruits. Generally, through the above-mentioned healthy diet, you can effectively avoid the physical loss caused by the IUD removal surgery.

Because each woman's physical characteristics are different, the bleeding conditions after surgery are also different. For women with bleeding, special dietary supplements are not necessary. However, some women have poor physical conditions, or there is something wrong during the surgical operation, which causes women to bleed heavily. In this case, they need to eat some blood-replenishing and qi-tonifying foods.

Carry out more blood-replenishing and qi-replenishing foods rich in copper, protein and other substances. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Common foods that replenish qi and blood include black beans, hair algae, carrots, noodles, broccoli, day lily, longan meat, etc. The blood-replenishing and qi-invigorating diet includes fried pork liver, beef liver and jujube soup, ginger brown red bean sugar water, hawthorn berry, cinnamon twig and old brown sugar soup, ginger water and coix seed porridge, black fungus and red date drink, etc. In addition, women need to pay special attention to avoid spicy, greasy, irritating, raw and cold food during the rest period.

Summary: Both removing and inserting an IUD are harmful to women's bodies. Of course, the harm caused by inserting an IUD is greater. Therefore, women who have not yet had an IUD inserted are advised not to get one. Women who have already had an IUD inserted are also advised to take care of their bodies and remove the previously inserted IUD as soon as possible to avoid causing greater harm to the body. After removing the IUD, be sure to pay attention to rest and avoid excessive fatigue.
