What is the whole process of ring removal?

Step 1: Routine inspection before IUD removal

The removal of the IUD must be avoided during the menstrual period. Generally, you should go to the hospital 3-7 days after the end of your period. At this time, you need to do a series of examinations, including routine examination of leucorrhea, routine blood test and B-ultrasound examination, as well as determine the position of the IUD. These are all preparations for the smooth removal of the IUD. If you have cervicitis or vaginitis, you must treat the inflammation first before removing the IUD, otherwise it will cause uterine infection. You cannot rush to remove the IUD and cause yourself more pain.

Second: Safe and fast IUD removal surgery

For doctors in regular hospitals, removing the IUD is a minor operation and will not cause much pain, so female friends do not need to worry too much, especially since there is also a painless operation for removing the IUD. As long as the patient can cooperate, there will be no pain at all. The IUD removal operation will be completed in a very short time and the whole process only takes a few minutes.

Third: Appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment after removal of the ring

After the IUD is removed, there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and discomfort in the waist and abdomen, which are all normal. In order to prevent infection and accelerate the recovery of the endometrium, you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a few days. In general, IUD removal is a simple, quick, and minor operation that will not affect your life or work.

When the contraceptive ring is left in a woman's uterus for too long, it will grow together with the body. Some women have kept the contraceptive ring in their uterus for 5 or even 10 years. In this case, there will definitely be some pulling and pain when removing the ring. Many women know how to take care of their bodies, so they go to remove the ring. In many hospitals, many women choose to have the ring removed. Painless IUD removal uses safe and effective anesthetics, and is fully monitored by superconducting instruments. The IUD can be removed accurately and quickly under visual conditions. The entire process only takes a few minutes, and there is no pain, minimal damage to the uterus, little bleeding, and recovery is quick.

How long does it take to remove the ring?

The entire IUD removal procedure usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. Of course, the type of IUD chosen by women when they have it inserted and whether the position of the IUD is normal will also affect the time of the IUD removal operation. When choosing to remove the IUD, you need to go to a regular hospital to avoid infection. The process of removing the ring is exactly the opposite of that of inserting the ring. Just use the ring removal hook to take out the ring. Generally, the operation is short. However, there are some special cases where the surgery may be difficult or even the removal of the ring may fail (such as a long menopause period, the ring being stuck or broken, etc.).

Ordinary IUD removal surgery can be performed in general hospitals, but complex IUD removal surgery (such as failed previous IUD removal) should be performed in a large hospital by experienced doctors. If necessary, the IUD can be removed under B-ultrasound guidance or hysteroscopy.

Precautions after removing the ring

(1) Get adequate rest and avoid heavy physical labor: Your body will generally be weak after the IUD is removed, so you should rest for 1-2 days and avoid heavy physical labor within a week to avoid bleeding.

(2) Pay attention to hygiene and avoid infection: After the IUD is removed, the vulva should be washed 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 avoid infection.

(3) Pay attention to observation: Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and the shedding of the ring. If you find that there is a lot of vaginal bleeding, which is more than twice the normal menstrual blood volume 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 check-ups: Generally, the first check-up after IUD removal is after the first menstrual period, the second check-up is within 3-6 months after IUD removal, and the third check-up is 12 months after IUD removal. After that, check-ups are conducted once a year.

(5) Pay attention to nutritional supplements: After the IUD is removed, you should pay attention to dietary conditioning and increase nutrition appropriately, especially eating more foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs and other foods. You can also eat more soy products, increase the intake of vegetables and fresh fruits. Generally, the above dietary conditioning can effectively prevent the physical energy consumption caused by the IUD removal surgery.

Because each woman has different physical characteristics, the bleeding after surgery is also different. For women with small amounts of bleeding, there is no need for special supplements. Some women have poor physical conditions or have improper surgical procedures, which lead to heavy bleeding. In this case, they need to eat some blood-enriching foods.

Carry out more blood-enriching food rich in iron, protein and other substances. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Common blood-enriching foods include black beans, hair algae, carrots, gluten, spinach, day lily, longan meat, etc. Blood-enriching foods include fried pork liver, pork liver and red dates soup, ginger, dates and brown sugar water, hawthorn, cinnamon and brown sugar soup, ginger juice and coix seed porridge, black fungus and red dates drink, etc. In addition, women need to pay special attention to resting for a few days and avoid spicy, greasy, irritating, raw or cold food.

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 IUD as soon as possible to avoid causing more harm to their bodies. After removing the IUD, you must pay attention to rest and avoid overwork.
