Patient's question:
I would like to ask if getting the IUD removed will disrupt my menstrual cycle. For example, if I usually get my period on the 25th of the previous month, will it be on time this month? The premise is that I always come on time.Doctor's answer:
Theoretically, removing the intrauterine device (IUD) should not affect the menstrual cycle. However, since the removal changes the uterine environment, some women may experience delayed or early menstruation, but it usually returns to normal gradually. If the menstrual period is delayed by about 3 days, it is normal. If it is delayed by 8-10 days or more, pregnancy should be suspected. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and clean them frequently. Avoid taking baths and sexual activity within 2 weeks after IUD removal.
