Patient's question:
I got my IUD removed 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 situation 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 IUD removal can easily lead to infections of the reproductive system.Advice: Rest for one day after the IUD is removed. Avoid sitting in a bath for two weeks to prevent infection. It is normal to have a small amount of bleeding or bloody discharge in the vagina, which will naturally subside within one or two days. If the bleeding is excessive or prolonged, seek medical attention promptly.
