Can the IUD be removed when menstruation starts?

Patient's question:

I have booked the time, and I will come to pick up the ring next Monday morning. Now that my period has arrived, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

During the menstrual period, it is not advisable to remove the IUD because the endometrium forms wounds during this time, and the immune system of various systems declines, making it easy to cause infections such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Therefore, it is not recommended to remove the IUD during menstruation.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to further gynecological issues. It is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
