Will removing the IUD cause infertility?

IUD contraception is a common contraceptive method and has been widely used. It can achieve complete contraception and has a very obvious success rate, which is many times higher than other contraceptive measures. However, many people cannot conceive normally within a short period of time after the IUD is removed. This may be due to damage to the endometrium or local infection and bleeding, which may affect normal reproductive function.

Why not get pregnant after removing the ring

1. Regardless of how long the ring is placed, the contraceptive ring as a foreign body will more or less cause certain damage and impact on the endometrial tissue, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the embryo or fetus and will cause defects in the newborn. The consequences are very bad. Therefore, it is recommended that women who have worn IUDs before should wait for a while before conceiving when planning a pregnancy, so as to give the endometrium time to recover and facilitate eugenics.

2. The incidence of tubal infertility caused by complications of the contraceptive ring, such as infection, pain and bleeding, is also significantly increased. This may be due to insufficient aseptic manipulation, bacteria entering the uterus when the contraceptive ring is placed, or bacteria ascending along the nylon thread of the contraceptive ring to infect the uterus, as well as factors such as increased menstrual volume, prolonged bleeding time, and disappearance of cervical mucus plug after the ring is placed, which make it easy for bacteria to multiply and invade.

3. After removing the IUD, female friends can rest for a few days and start trying to get pregnant. If you continue to have lower back pain, or have not become pregnant 6 months after the IUD removal, you should consider whether you have gynecological inflammation or fallopian tube obstruction. At this time, you should go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, correctly locate the cause of the problem, and treat it accordingly to restore your reproductive ability.

4. Ovulatory dysfunction: It is manifested as no ovulation during the menstrual cycle, or although ovulation occurs, the corpus luteum function is not sound after ovulation.

5. Ovarian factors: Ovarian hypoplasia, corpus luteum insufficiency, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian tumors and other factors that affect follicle development or egg discharge can cause infertility.

6. Cervical lesions: Congenital abnormalities, occlusion or stenosis, polyps, erosions, tumors, adhesions, etc. of the cervical canal can affect the passage of sperm; the presence of anti-sperm antibodies in cervical mucus is not conducive to sperm penetration of the cervical canal or completely incapacitates the sperm.
