Patient's question:
Recently, I went to the hospital to remove my intrauterine device (IUD) and am now planning to have a baby. Could you please tell me how long after getting the IUD removed can I have sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Generally, in clinical diagnosis, it is recommended to wait two weeks after removing the IUD before resuming sexual activity. This helps ensure the complete recovery of the endometrium, which is beneficial for women's health.When removing the IUD, it is important to note that mild lower abdominal discomfort, back pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding may occur after the procedure. It is advised to rest sufficiently after removal. During these two weeks, pay attention to personal hygiene and local cleanliness to prevent bacterial infections. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for half a month.
In daily life, it is important to follow a light diet, consume high-protein foods, maintain a balanced nutrition, avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, engage in appropriate physical activity, and enhance your physical fitness.
