Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can a D&C and IUD removal be done at the same time?Doctor's answer:
During the diagnostic D&C, the IUD should be removed. First remove the IUD, then perform the D&C, and send the endometrium for pathology examination. It is recommended to have blood tests for the six sex hormones during the D&C to check for any endocrine abnormalities. Abnormal vaginal bleeding needs to be considered from multiple aspects, and the treatment plan should be selected based on the examination results. As long as the fetus is stable now, there is no major issue.Three months before and three months after pregnancy, cohabitation is not allowed. In the first three months, the fetus is not yet stable, so cohabitation can easily lead to miscarriage. In the last three months, the fetus starts to grow, and the uterine space becomes limited. If cohabitation occurs, it may compress the fetus, leading to fetal hypoxia and potential danger. The second trimester is relatively safe, and cohabitation is allowed at this time.
