How many days of bleeding is normal after taking out the IUD, and what precautions should be taken?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after removing the device, there may be bloody discharge or a small amount of bleeding, which will naturally disappear within 1-2 days. If the bleeding is heavy, prolonged, or accompanied by lower abdominal pain, seek medical attention promptly. When removing an intrauterine device (IUD), please note the following:
(1) It is essential to have the device removed by a specialized doctor at a family planning technical service institution or hospital under sterile conditions.
(2) The best time to remove the device is 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends.
(3) Avoid sexual intercourse and tub baths for 3 days before and 2 weeks after removal to prevent bleeding and infection.
