Patient's question:
I took out the IUD on December 25th (because it had moved down). After the surgery, I didn't rest and continued to work. When walking, I felt a soreness in my lower right abdomen, and the blood was dark red. I don't know how long this condition will last? Will this affect the recovery of my uterus? I plan to have a baby in half a year. Should I take a leave of absence and rest at home?Doctor's answer:
After the IUD is removed, at least two months should pass without any adverse reactions before resuming sexual activity. Engaging in sexual activity too soon after removal can easily lead to infections in the reproductive system.Advice: Rest for one day after the IUD is removed. Avoid sitting in a hot tub or taking baths within two weeks to prevent infection. A small amount of bleeding or bloody discharge from the vagina may occur, and it will naturally subside within one or two days—this is normal. If the bleeding is heavy or prolonged, seek medical attention promptly.
