Can I take a shower on the day after the IUD is removed?

IUD insertion is one of the most common contraceptive measures for women. Many women need to undergo IUD removal surgery if they want to have a second child after using contraception for a period of time. Women also undergo IUD removal surgery after reaching a certain age and menopause. Although IUD removal is only a relatively minor operation, there are many things to pay attention to. Because the female vagina is a relatively private place, you still need to rest after removing the IUD. So, can you take a shower on the same day after removing the IUD? Let’s take a look together below!

1. Rest for 1 day after removing the IUD. Do not have sex or take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks to prevent infection. After the removal of the IUD, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody leucorrhea, which will disappear naturally in a day or two. This is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium and cervix by the removal of the IUD. It is a normal phenomenon. If the bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time, you should seek medical treatment in time. Removing the IUD generally does not affect the menstrual cycle, and it should be clean in about a week.

2. You can take a shower on the same day after the IUD is removed. There is no time limit, but you must shower and not take a bath in a tub. Do not get cold to avoid catching a cold. Do not have sex for half a month to avoid reproductive tract infection.

3. In addition, although not every woman will experience symptoms after IUD removal, once similar symptoms occur, women need to pay attention. Although it is not serious, if you do not take it seriously and allow the symptoms to develop, the harm you suffer will be great. If vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time or continues after the ring is removed, women should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.

4. Come to the hospital and remove the IUD within 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period ends (sexual intercourse is prohibited). If a woman experiences adverse reactions after removing the IUD, she can take appropriate amounts of anti-infection and hemostatic drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

5. On the day after the IUD is removed, you may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, back pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the amount of vaginal bleeding after removing the IUD exceeds the amount of menstruation, or the bleeding continues after half a month, or if you have severe abdominal pain, please come to the hospital for a follow-up visit immediately.

The above briefly introduces the matters that should be paid attention to after removing the IUD. It is best to rest for a few days after removing the IUD. You cannot have sex or take a bath. Even if you want to take a bath, it is best to take a shower. In addition, whether it is IUD insertion or removal, it is best to choose a local regular hospital, which can also provide some protection.
