What should I pay attention to after removing the ring?

Removing the IUD is a surgery that only women undergo. It is not only pregnant women who need to remove the IUD. The contraceptive ring has a certain period of use, and the female uterus also needs a certain amount of time to repair, so they will undergo this surgery to remove the IUD. After removing the IUD, we should have certain precautions, but many people do not know its specific precautions. So what should we pay attention to after removing the IUD?

1. Observe your physical condition. Carefully observe your physical condition after the IUD is removed. If you experience abnormal conditions such as fever, abdominal pain, or heavy bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.

2. Make sure to get more rest. After having the IUD removed, women should rest for a day before getting out of bed and moving around, and avoid strenuous activities such as doing heavy work.

3. Avoid sexual intercourse. You can have sexual intercourse at least 2 weeks after the IUD is removed.

5. Take effective contraceptive measures. If you remove the IUD before menopause and do not want to get pregnant, you should take other contraceptive measures.

6. Keep the vulva clean. Wash the vulva with clean water every night, and avoid washing the vagina with your hands.

7. Pay attention to nutrition. To avoid excessive bleeding after removing the IUD, you can eat some blood-enriching foods, such as donkey-hide gelatin, red dates, angelica, etc.

Precautions for care after IUD removal: 1. On the day after IUD removal, you may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, back pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding, which is normal. However, if the amount of bleeding exceeds the menstrual volume, or the bleeding persists for more than half a month, accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention immediately.

3. You should rest in bed for 1 day after removing the IUD. You should not do excessive physical labor within 1 week after removing the IUD, especially labor that requires squatting to a large extent, to prevent further bleeding.

It is best not to have sex within two weeks after removing the IUD. IUD removal is an invasive surgery. If you have sex immediately after the IUD is removed, the female endometrium has not fully recovered and is likely to be damaged or infected. Moreover, the female body is relatively weak at this time. Even if she becomes pregnant, it is not suitable for the growth and development of the embryo, which can easily cause serious consequences such as neonatal defects. Taking all factors into consideration, women must rest for a period of time after removing the IUD and wait for the endometrium to recover before having sex. For women who plan to get pregnant, it is best to wait six months after removing the IUD before conceiving.
