How long can an IUD be removed?

Patient's question:

All symptoms: Onset time and cause: Have there been any obvious symptoms after a long time? Treatment status: Mine has been like this for 6 years, is it serious? Desired help: When can it be taken?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, an X-ray or "B" type ultrasound examination should be performed before the IUD removal to confirm that the IUD is in the uterine cavity before proceeding with the removal. The best time for removal is within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends, which can reduce bleeding. Rest for 1 day after the removal, and avoid sexual activity and soaking in a bath for 2 weeks to prevent infection. After the removal, there may be a small amount of bleeding or bloody discharge from the vagina, which will naturally disappear within a day or two. This is due to the stimulation of the endometrium and cervix by the IUD removal, and it is a normal phenomenon. If there is excessive bleeding or prolonged bleeding, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly.
