How long does it take for menstruation to return after removing the IUD?

Patient's question:

Recently, I wanted to have a second child and then had surgery to remove the intrauterine device (IUD). How long will it take for my period to return after it's removed?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, an IUD is after all a foreign object, so regardless of how long it has been in place, it will have some impact on the uterine lining and other tissues. Therefore, after the IUD is removed, it is essential to allow the uterine lining time to heal, which typically takes about three months to repair. Thus, considering both the perspective of eugenics and your own health, the best timing to conceive after IUD removal is generally three months later.
