The difference is that the contraceptive ring is directly installed in the female body for long-term use, which can last up to 10 years. Therefore, it is a very convenient contraceptive tool. Minimal impact on people's lives. When the usage period reaches the upper limit, it needs to be removed in time. Let’s take a look at the precautions after removing the IUD.

First of all, there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after the IUD removal, which usually disappears naturally within a week and does not require any treatment. If there is excessive bleeding, abdominal pain, or fever, you should seek medical attention promptly. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Wash the vulva with clean water every night. Do not use your hands to wash the vagina. Do not have sexual intercourse, take a bath in a tub, swim or take a sauna within 2 weeks.

2. Secondly, for the sake of health, you can eat foods with high protein content after removing the IUD. In addition, you can just choose more blood-enriching foods and there is no need to make special dietary adjustments. Common blood-enriching foods in life include: brown sugar, longan, red dates, black beans, etc. By eating more of this kind of food and getting enough rest, your body will be able to quickly adapt to the changes in your uterus.

3. Again, after removing the IUD, take appropriate amounts of anti-infection and hemostatic drugs as instructed by the doctor.

4. Finally, if the woman still wants to get pregnant, soon after the IUD is removed, its effect of interfering with the combination of sperm and egg will disappear, and the endometrium will return to normal. Studies have confirmed that 75% of women can become pregnant within 6 months after IUD removal; 90% of women can become pregnant within 1 year after IUD removal. Moreover, if pregnancy occurs after the IUD is removed, there will be no impact on the development of the fetus. However, in order to allow the endometrium to repair well, after removing the IUD, you should use other contraceptive methods for 1 to 3 months before getting pregnant.
