How soon can I have sex after the IUD is removed?

Many mothers use safe and effective contraceptive rings for contraception after giving birth. With the opening of the second-child policy, if mothers want to have a second baby, they need to consider removing the ring. So for women with IUDs, many mothers may not have complete experience on how long they can have sex after removing the IUD and how long they can prepare for pregnancy.

How long does it take to have sex after removing the IUD?

If the couple has agreed on a "baby-making plan", they can go to a designated medical institution to find a professional to remove the IUD. Generally speaking, contraceptive rings will cause varying degrees of damage to the uterus. When the contraceptive ring is removed, the delicate endometrium will be subjected to a certain amount of tension and impact, and mild bleeding may occur. This type of bleeding will not last for a long time and can usually be recovered in three to five days. Therefore, you can have sex about 15 days after removing the IUD, but you must ensure that there is no bloody leucorrhea or bleeding in the female's lower body secretions before having sex.

When is the best time to prepare for pregnancy after removing the IUD?

The purpose of most women removing the IUD is to "make a baby as soon as possible", so they want to get pregnant as soon as possible after removing the IUD, but for the health of the second baby and the mother's body, the time of pregnancy still needs to be chosen. Generally speaking, pregnancy can be achieved around 3-6 months after the removal of the IUD. If the woman has a natural birth and the endometrium is well developed, pregnancy can be advanced to three months. If the woman's body has a long recovery period after surgery, it is recommended to remove the IUD one year before the pregnancy preparation period to allow the uterine wall to be completely repaired.

Does it hurt to remove the IUD?

Many women have experienced pain similar to or even greater than childbirth when having their IUDs inserted, so they tend to feel more anxious when removing them. So does it hurt to remove the IUD? In fact, it depends on the person. Many mothers are usually very calm and think that removing the IUD is just like an injection, so they are more relaxed psychologically and the doctor is more convenient in the actual operation. In this way, mothers may not feel any pain at all. On the contrary, some mothers are more sensitive to pain, and are more anxious, so when taking out the IUD, it often takes several times before it can be removed. When this happens, the pain for women is naturally heavier.

In addition, the pain of removing the IUD is also closely related to the length of time it has been placed. Some IUDs have been placed in the body for more than ten years, making it more difficult to remove. On the other hand, those that have been placed for one or two years are easy to remove, and the pain will naturally be less.
