Patient's question:
After giving birth to my baby, I had an IUD inserted for breastfeeding. It has been three years now, and every time I have my period, it takes ten days or even half a month to subside. So, I want to have the IUD removed. What is the procedure for a visual IUD removal? What kind of help do you need: What is the procedure for a visual IUD removal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, visual removal of the IUD is performed under hysteroscopy to prevent damage to the uterine wall during the removal process. It is a relatively good method in IUD removal surgery. The doctor performs the operation under visual guidance, which can reduce unnecessary harm. After the IUD is removed, it is important to avoid sexual activity for two weeks, take showers instead of baths, and maintain good hygiene for the vulva. Wash the vulva with clean water daily. Avoid heavy physical labor after the IUD removal and get adequate rest to prevent catching a cold. Wishing you good health!
