Patient's question:
After giving birth to my daughter, I had an IUD inserted. Now that the country has opened up the two-child policy, my husband and I are considering following the trend and having another child. However, I have had mild cervical inflammation for a long time. In my case, can I have the IUD removed? I need to prepare with my husband for pregnancy if I get the IUD removed.Doctor's answer:
If you have acute cervical inflammation, you cannot engage in activities for the time being. You need to receive timely antibiotic treatment. If it is chronic inflammation, you can use vaginal medication for a period of time. If it is mild cervical erosion, you can use vaginal medication such as Baofukang suppositories. The removal of the intrauterine device (IUD) should be performed between the 3rd and 7th days after menstruation. Before removing the IUD, an ultrasound should be done to confirm its position. Relax and stay calm, as this is a minor surgery.
