Patient's question:
I have had irregular periods for the past two months! There is pain in my lower left abdomen! The external genitalia are itchy and painful! An ultrasound examination revealed that the intrauterine device has moved downward! Now, I want to remove the IUD, but because of the inflammation, it cannot be removed. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
There is gynecological inflammation. In addition to the IUD being misplaced, it is necessary to treat the inflammation before removing the IUD. It is recommended to take oral Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. Then, place anti-inflammatory suppositories vaginally to treat vaginitis. After a period of treatment, go to the hospital three days after the menstrual period to remove the IUD. Gynecological diseases are a condition that is prone to occur. During the treatment period, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
