Why do I have back pain after IUD removal?

We know that there are many ways of contraception in today's society. Of course, those on the market, such as condoms and birth control pills, are only short-term contraceptives. If a woman goes to the hospital to get an IUD, the contraceptive effect will continue to be effective. However, some people find that they always have back pain after removing the IUD. What is going on?

It is normal to experience lower abdominal discomfort within 1 to 3 months after removal of the IUD. If after 6 months you still have a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, back pain, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or menstrual blood volume that is twice as much as usual, you should see a doctor. If there is no improvement, you should remove the IUD and use other contraceptive methods.

Rest for 1 day after removing the IUD. No sexual intercourse or bathing in a basin within 2 weeks to prevent infection. There may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody leucorrhea after removing the IUD, which will disappear naturally in a day or two. This is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium and cervix by the IUD removal. It is a normal phenomenon. If the bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time, seek medical treatment in time.

You can use PP powder for sitz baths, take some antibiotics, drink plenty of water, strengthen physical exercise, avoid sexual intercourse, and wear loose underwear. It may also be caused by lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation and other factors. Lumbar X-ray or MRI should be done to rule out the possibility of sciatica caused by lumbar disc or bone hyperplasia. Treatment can be traction, physical therapy, infrared, massage therapy, avoid working and studying in the same posture for a long time, especially long-term bending over for work and study, and take a 10-minute break every hour or so. Also pay attention to the possibility of lumbar muscle strain.
