When should the IUD be removed?

Patient's question:

Hello; When is the best time to get the IUD removed? During the menstrual period? How long should one rest after the procedure before getting pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! I'm glad I can help you. For women with fertility requirements, the best time to remove the IUD should be six months before planning to conceive, within 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. It is recommended to go to the hospital for IUD removal according to the above time. Rest for 1 day after IUD removal, and avoid sexual activity and soaking in a hot tub within 2 weeks to prevent infection. I hope my reply helps you.
It is recommended to undergo an X-ray or "B" ultrasound examination before IUD removal. Rest for 1 day after IUD removal, and avoid sexual activity and soaking in a hot tub within 2 weeks to prevent infection.
