Can I have sex before IUD removal? What should I pay attention to before IUD removal?

Before removing the IUD, you should be careful not to have sexual intercourse, especially three days before removal. In addition, you should maintain a good attitude, pay attention to the hygiene of your genitals, make preparations, go to a regular hospital to remove the IUD, and understand the best time to remove the IUD.

1. No sexual intercourse is allowed three days before the IUD is removed:

Gynecological experts point out that women are not allowed to have sex three days before removing the IUD. It is best not to have sex before removing the IUD. If you have sex, you should take corresponding preventive measures to avoid gynecological inflammation or bleeding, which are not conducive to normal removal of the IUD.

2. In addition to prohibiting sexual intercourse, you should also pay attention to the following points before removing the IUD:

1. Maintain a good attitude. Removing an IUD is just a simple operation, just like inserting an IUD. Many women with poor psychological quality will inevitably feel a little nervous and anxious. Before removing the IUD, you can listen to music to distract yourself or do deep breathing exercises to relieve tension and ensure a smooth operation.

2. Keep the vulva clean. Before removing the IUD, we should pay more attention to the cleanliness of the vulva to avoid infection before removal of the IUD, which will delay the removal of the IUD. Before removing the IUD, we should avoid sexual intercourse to prevent sexual intercourse from stimulating the uterus and affecting the IUD removal operation.

3. Preparation before removing the IUD: Before choosing a regular hospital to remove the IUD, you should learn more about better regular hospitals. Do not choose an irregular small clinic just because you want to save money. In these places, there may be a possibility of improper disinfection of medical equipment or improper operation of doctors, which may easily lead to infection or disease after IUD removal.

4. Understand the correct time to remove the IUD. When the prescribed time has passed, the IUD should be removed in time to avoid losing its contraceptive effect in the uterus or causing deformation and damage to the endometrium. Generally, metal rings can be stored for about 20 years, silicone rubber V-rings can be stored for about 7 to 10 years, and copper sleeve T-rings can be stored for about 10 to 15 years. For women of childbearing age who plan to have their IUD removed to get pregnant, the best time to do so is six months or one year in advance, and can do so within 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period ends. Women who have been in menopause for more than 6 months or whose menstrual cycles have become longer should remove the ring in time to avoid uterine atrophy that makes it difficult for doctors to operate.

5. Check for inflammation and infection. Before removing the IUD, you must first check whether you have any inflammation. If so, you must receive anti-infection treatment in time. After the inflammation is cured, you can perform the IUD removal surgery.
