Patient's question:
I am 48 years old. I had an ovarian cyst removal surgery in 2010. Since then, my menstruation has not come regularly. When is the best time to remove the intrauterine device (IUD)?Doctor's answer:
At your age, it's best to get the IUD removed earlier. Otherwise, it will be difficult to remove if the uterus shrinks. You can go to the hospital to get the IUD removed as long as there is no vaginal bleeding. Before getting the IUD removed, you should have a routine vaginal discharge test to ensure there is no infection before proceeding. Did you understand? For severe ovarian cyst patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications for treatment, as this may worsen the condition.
