When can I have sex after IUD removal?

Women put IUDs in their bodies as a contraceptive measure. Now that the two-child policy has been opened up, many people want to have a second child, so they want to remove the IUD. So when is the best time to remove the IUD? How long after removing the IUD can you have sex? What common problems do women encounter after removing the IUD? Let the editor take you to learn about it below.

What is the IUD?

Removing the IUD refers to the IUD that has been inserted. The function of the IUD is to prevent pregnancy during the growth period. After entering menopause (45 years old), the probability of pregnancy is almost zero, and the side effects of the ring are obviously manifested. The IUD should be removed in time.

How long after the IUD is removed can I have sex?

This is related to one's physical condition, but women must not have sex immediately after removing the IUD. It is best to have sex 14 days after the IUD is removed, depending on the woman's recovery condition, to prevent wound infection and inflammation, which may cause certain harm to one's health. You must wait until the woman's uterine wall is repaired before having sex. If you want to get pregnant, it is best to consider pregnancy three months after removing the IUD, so that the uterus has time to repair and heal, so as to raise a healthy baby.

It is particularly important to note that some women may experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody leucorrhea after removing the IUD, which will generally disappear after a day or two. Because removing the IUD will irritate the uterine wall and cervix, which will cause bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is heavy or the bleeding lasts for a long time after the IUD is removed, you need to go to the hospital for examination immediately to prevent infection by bacteria.

The best time to remove the IUD

The best time to remove the IUD is determined by the woman's health condition, and different women have different times to remove the IUD. If you are a woman who wants to get pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital to remove the IUD 3-5 days after your period.

2. Women in menopause should remove the IUD. The best time to remove the IUD is within 6 months to 1 year after menopause.
