Tumor in the uterus, does the intrauterine device have to be removed?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: If there is a tumor in the uterus, does the intrauterine device (IUD) have to be removed? The IUD was inserted a year ago, and a year later, a gynecological examination revealed a 20 cm tumor.

Doctor's answer:

If ultrasound suggests an enlarged uterine cavity with submucosal uterine fibroids, or if there are unidentified fibroids within the uterus, the intrauterine device (IUD) should also be removed promptly to avoid potential complications.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is advisable to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
