Is it painful to remove the Mirena IUD?

There is some pain in removing the Mirena IUD, but women can tolerate it completely. If women are afraid of pain, they can get an anesthetic injection when the IUD is removed, but they must pay attention to vaginal hygiene after removal. The Mirena IUD is a contraceptive ring installed at the entrance of the uterus. It can be removed very quickly, usually in about five minutes. A small amount of vaginal bleeding will occur during the removal process, which is a normal phenomenon and will recover naturally after a few days.

It will be only a little painful when the Mirena ring is removed, but it is not too serious and is within the range that people can bear. There is no need to inject anesthetics, and there is no need to worry too much or be afraid, because the Mirena ring itself has a tail thread. After a professional gynecologist finds the tail thread, the Mirena ring can be pulled outwards and it will fall off the uterus. This is a very fast process and only takes a few minutes. However, women must undergo some relevant gynecological examinations in advance when going to the hospital to remove the Mirena IUD.

When removing the Mirena ring, women need to undergo a gynecological examination in advance, and the most important thing is to do a gynecological color ultrasound, which will allow the doctor to determine the specific position of the Mirena ring in the woman's uterus and confirm whether it has deformed or damaged the woman's endometrium.

In addition, before removing the Mirena ring, a cervical and vaginal examination should be performed to see if there is any inflammation. If you suffer from cervicitis, cervical erosion, or vaginitis, you need to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment before the Mirena ring can be removed.

When women go to the hospital to remove the Mirena IUD, they must also choose the right time. Under normal circumstances, they can choose to go to the hospital to remove the IUD five to seven days after their menstruation is over. This is the time when the endometrium is most stable, and the pain of removing the IUD is the least and it is also the safest. However, if a woman has irregular menstruation due to the Mirena IUD that has been in place for five years and has stopped menstruating for a long time, she can go to the hospital during the bleeding period to apply for the Mirena IUD to be removed and ask the doctor to provide relevant diagnosis and treatment for her.

Although it was not painful when the Mirena IUD was removed after 5 years, a gynecological examination must be done, and personal hygiene must be paid attention to after the removal of the Mirena IUD. Special attention should be paid to not having sexual intercourse within 15 days after the removal of the IUD. The vulva should be washed with water every night, and new underwear should be changed in time. The changed underwear should be disinfected with high temperature. This can prevent inflammation and infection of the uterus after the removal of the IUD and maintain the health of women.
