What are the precautions after menopause IUD removal?

The contraceptive ring is the safest and most practical contraceptive tool for women, which can easily achieve the purpose of contraception without affecting the sexual experience. The contraceptive ring has a long service life, usually more than 10 years. Generally, women no longer need the contraceptive ring after menopause and must remove it. What are the precautions after removing the ring after menopause? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

1. After removing the IUD, you can eat foods with high protein content. 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.

2. After removing the IUD, you should also pay attention to eating less spicy, sour, raw, cold, and other irritating foods to ensure the nutrition your body needs every day. Pay attention to balanced nutrition. Heavy supplements are not good for everyone. So, just ensure a light diet.

3. On the day after the IUD is removed, women may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, back pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This is normal. However, if the amount of vaginal bleeding after IUD removal exceeds the amount of menstruation, or the bleeding continues for more than half a month, accompanied by abdominal pain symptoms, you should go to the hospital immediately.

4. There will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding after the ring is removed. At this time, women should pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and wash the vulva with clean water every night. It is strictly forbidden to wash the vagina with hands. Sexual intercourse, bathing, swimming and sauna should be prohibited within 2 weeks to avoid infection.

5. After removing the IUD, women should rest in bed for 1 day. They should not do excessive physical labor within 1 week after removing the IUD, especially labor that requires squatting to a large extent, to prevent increased bleeding.
