Will my period be delayed after IUD removal?

IUD insertion is a contraceptive measure taken by many women. Generally speaking, removing the IUD will not affect menstruation. However, some women experience delayed menstruation after removing the IUD. Everyone's physique is different, so different symptoms will appear. There are many reasons for delayed menstruation after IUD removal. The environment, endocrine system, mood, etc. can all affect women's delay. It is best to observe for a few months first.

What are the precautions after the ring is removed?

1. Keep your genitals clean

After removing the IUD, women should pay attention to keeping the vagina clean and hygienic, and try to wash the genitals with warm water every day. Especially in winter, pay attention to keep warm and do not catch cold.

2. Discomfort in the lower abdomen

Many women will experience lower abdominal discomfort after removing the IUD. This condition will generally disappear naturally within 1 week and does not require special treatment. However, if you find excessive vaginal bleeding and accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever, you should seek medical attention promptly.

3. A small amount of bleeding or bloody leucorrhea

Some women will experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody leucorrhea after removing the IUD. This is caused by irritation to the endometrium and cervix when the IUD is removed. It will usually disappear naturally after 1-2 days and is a normal phenomenon. However, if there is heavy bleeding or bleeding for a long time after the IUD is removed, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid infection.

4. Don’t have sex for two weeks

After a woman has had her IUD removed, she should not have sex or try to have a baby within two weeks. At the same time, avoid sitting baths and tub baths to prevent infection and inflammation, which is not conducive to a speedy recovery after IUD removal.

5. Take medicine when necessary

For women in need, they can take appropriate amounts of anti-infection and hemostatic drugs after removing the IUD, which is beneficial to the recovery of the female body.

How long after the IUD is removed can I have a child?

In fact, the uterus needs a long time to recuperate after the IUD is removed. The contraceptive ring produces not only a short-term contraceptive effect by affecting the uterine cavity environment and hormone levels, but can still affect conception for a long time after the ring is removed.

Therefore, women who plan to become pregnant after removing the IUD need 2-3 menstrual cycles (or even longer) to restore the normal physiological function of the endometrium. From the perspective of eugenics, you should not rush to get pregnant after removing the IUD. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a pre-pregnancy check-up to assess fertility.

The reasons why women cannot get pregnant after removing the ring are nothing more than the following two points:

1. The uterus did not get rest after the IUD was removed

2. Complications from removing and inserting the IUD can lead to infertility

If the sterile control during the placement or removal of the contraceptive ring is not strict, the operation is unskilled, and there are special personal physical conditions, serious complications may occur, such as salpingitis, uterine perforation, ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine contraceptive device misplacement, irregular bleeding, menstrual disorders, inflammatory adhesions or scars, etc., leading to secondary infertility. It is recommended to undergo a systematic examination to find out the cause of infertility and then provide symptomatic treatment.

Warm reminder: Women cannot try to get pregnant immediately after removing the IUD. Women need 2-3 months to allow the uterus to recuperate so that the endometrium can resume normal function. Trying to get pregnant too early will cause harm to your body and will not achieve the purpose of getting pregnant.
