Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I am getting my IUD removed tomorrow, and the preliminary preparations are already complete. The doctor said that the IUD removal might be painful and requires anesthesia. I'm a bit worried. What level of pain might it be?Doctor's answer:
Don't worry, there may be some mild pain. The best time to remove the IUD is 3 to 7 days after your period ends, as this can reduce bleeding. Rest for 1 day after the removal, and avoid sexual activity and soaking in a hot tub for 2 weeks to prevent infection.
