Patient's question:

When is it better to get the IUD removed?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, if it is a copper-containing intrauterine device (IUD), such as the T-shaped IUD, the effective lifespan of the device will not exceed 8 to 10 years, and it needs to be removed. It is generally possible to remove the IUD between days 3 to 7 after menstruation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
