Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me what precautions I should take after having the IUD removed?Doctor's answer:
1. After removing the IUD, maintain vaginal cleanliness and hygiene. Wash the genital area with warm water daily, and avoid getting cold.2. Do not engage in sexual activity within two weeks after removing the IUD. Also avoid sitting baths or tub baths to prevent infection and inflammation, which may hinder quick recovery after IUD removal. This is one of the important precautions after IUD removal.
3. Pay attention to nutrition and consume more iron-rich foods to prevent anemia caused by excessive menstrual bleeding.
