Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How long after getting an IUD can it be removed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the IUD is inserted, it needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation. Generally, it can be removed after 7-10 years. This is to prevent it from staying in the uterus for too long, which could affect the uterine muscle layer. Due to the increase in circulating blood volume, the amount of blood the heart pumps out will also increase. At the same time, the number of capillaries throughout the body increases, and their diameter also becomes thicker. The result is that more fluid (an average increase of 25%) will "pass through" the capillary walls into the interstitial spaces.
