Why do I have stomach pain after IUD removal?

In order to reduce the chance of pregnancy, many women choose to have an IUD inserted. However, if they want to conceive, they need to remove the IUD. Only in this way can their fertility be restored. The sudden removal of the IUD will cause many changes in the body, as well as some abnormal phenomena, such as abdominal pain. So what causes abdominal pain after removing the IUD?

First, why does the stomach hurt after removing the IUD? Generally speaking, the pain caused by removing the IUD is within the acceptable range for women, but for the sake of your own health, it is recommended that you choose painless IUD removal. There will be no pain during the operation, but you may experience slight lower abdominal discomfort, back pain or a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the day of IUD removal. This is normal and will disappear after a period of adjustment. If the surgery can be performed at the optimal time, the body can recover as quickly as possible after the surgery.

Second, if the inserted ring has reached the prescribed period, you should go to the hospital to remove the ring in time to prevent the ring from deforming or becoming ineffective in the uterus. Generally, metal rings can be stored for 20 years, silicone rubber V-rings can be stored for 7 to 10 years, and copper sleeve T-rings can be stored for 10 to 15 years. A new ring can be put in while removing the ring. Before removing the ring, you should first undergo an X-ray fluoroscopy or "B" type ultrasound examination. For a ring with a tail thread, you can ask the doctor to dilate the vaginal opening to see if there is any nylon thread outside the uterine opening to confirm that the ring is in the uterine cavity before removing it. The best time to remove the ring is within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over, which can reduce bleeding. Come to the hospital to remove the IUD within 3 to 5 days after your period ends (no sexual intercourse). Take appropriate amounts of anti-infection and hemostatic drugs after removing the IUD. If there are significant changes in the menstrual cycle during menopause, such as the cycle becoming longer or menopause lasting more than 6 months, the ring should be removed promptly.

Why does stomach pain occur after removing the IUD? Women need to pay attention to rest after removing the IUD, avoid doing heavy physical labor, avoid working under cold water, and avoid catching cold and causing infection. After removing the IUD, if female friends have not yet planned to get pregnant, they must adopt other contraceptive methods to avoid unwanted pregnancy. After the ring is removed, there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and discomfort in the lower abdomen, which will generally disappear on its own after a week and does not require any treatment. However, if the amount of bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time, and there is abdominal pain, fever, etc., you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
