Can I have sex before IUD removal?

Inserting an IUD is a contraceptive method chosen by many women. When the IUD is used for a certain period of time, it needs to be removed immediately. Some women also need to remove the IUD when they want to get pregnant again. So, can women have sex before removing the IUD? How to care after removing the IUD? These are all things women need to know before removing the IUD. Let us take a look at some common issues before and after removing the IUD.

Can women have sex before removing the IUD?

The answer is no. You cannot have sex within 3 to 5 days before removing the IUD. This is because sex can change the acidity and alkalinity of the female vagina. In addition, sex can cause genital hematoma. It is easy to send bacteria into the vagina during sex, so it is easy to send bacteria to the uterus when removing the IUD, which will increase the chance of uterine infection. Therefore, in order to avoid infection after removing the IUD, it is recommended that women go three to seven days after the menstrual period is over. During this period, you must pay attention to not having sex, so that it will not be affected by menstruation and ovulation.

If a woman of appropriate age wants to remove the IUD, it is recommended to do so 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period is over. It is best to remove the IUD half a year or a year in advance, so that it is safer to get pregnant after the uterus has healed. If a woman in menopause needs to remove the IUD, it is best to do so within 6 months to 1 year after menopause.

Before removing the IUD, you should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. At the same time, you should go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination, and conduct examinations such as secretions, blood tests, and urine tests to make sure there is no inflammation before removing the IUD. Please note that you should not do heavy physical work one week before removing the IUD, and avoid eating or drinking water within four hours before removing the IUD.

From this we can see that you cannot have sex before removing the IUD, otherwise it may cause infection. Although removing the IUD is only a minimally invasive operation, you still need to pay attention to the preparation and medical care before and after the operation to ensure the successful removal of the IUD and avoid adverse effects on your health due to the removal of the IUD. It is recommended that women go to a regular hospital to remove the IUD and do all kinds of examinations to ensure their health.
