Will removing the IUD damage the endometrium?

Removing the IUD may damage the endometrium and may be accompanied by abdominal pain or increased vaginal discharge.

Wearing an IUD is a relatively common method of contraception. It can prevent sperm and egg from combining and can also prevent pregnancy. The IUD has a certain service life. After long-term use, it may affect the contraceptive effect, or bacteria and inflammation may grow, and local mucosal damage may occur. The IUD needs to be removed or replaced in time for treatment. During the removal process, endometrial damage may occur, accompanied by increased local secretions and bleeding or pain symptoms. Before removing the IUD, you need to do an abdominal ultrasound examination and vulvar anti-inflammatory treatment. Then, after the IUD is removed, you need to do uterine anti-inflammatory treatment in time or replace it with a new IUD for treatment.

After the IUD is removed, if the endometrial damage is severe, you need to wipe the vulva with saline regularly to reduce infection. You also need to take motherwort granules or metronidazole and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can eliminate inflammation in the uterine cavity and promote body recovery.

If endometrial damage occurs after the IUD is removed, you need to reduce sexual activity to avoid endometrial damage or cross infection during sexual intercourse.
