I have menstrual pain after IUD removal

After giving birth to their first child, women usually choose to use an intrauterine device for contraception. Wait until it’s time to remove the IUD before going to the hospital for surgery. If women experience abdominal pain during menstruation after having their IUD removed, many of them will worry whether this is due to the effects of the IUD removal. There will be some discomfort in the lower abdomen for a short period of time after the IUD is removed, but it will disappear naturally. Therefore, generally speaking, menstrual pain after removing the IUD has nothing to do with the removal of the IUD. The following introduces the menstrual abdominal pain after removing the IUD.

IUD insertion is a common contraceptive method used by women who have children, but now many women born in the 1980s are unwilling to choose it due to fear of pain and trouble. Experts say that in fact, the IUD is the safest and most effective method of contraception. Although it will cause an increase in menstrual flow, it will not cause much harm to the body. Over time, the menstrual flow will return to normal. However, women should pay attention to the following matters after removing the ring:

1. After removing the IUD, if you have any abnormal symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, bleeding more than the menstrual volume, etc., go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Rest for one day after the IUD removal. No sexual intercourse or bathing is allowed after two weeks.

3. If you do not plan to get pregnant, you should choose other contraceptive methods after removing the IUD.

4. After the IUD is removed, take medication regularly as prescribed by the doctor.

5. There will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after the IUD removal, which usually disappears naturally within a week and does not require any treatment. If there is heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, and fever, you should seek medical attention promptly. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Wash the vulva with clean water every night. Do not use your hands to clean the vagina. Avoid sexual intercourse, bathing in a tub, swimming, and taking a sauna within 2 weeks.

6. Abdominal pain during menstruation after IUD removal may be related to discomfort after IUD removal or pelvic inflammation. It is recommended to apply appropriate hot compress to the abdomen, and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods during menstruation. If the abdominal pain is severe, you can also go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check the condition of the uterine appendages and whether there is an increase in pelvic fluid effusion.
