Is lower abdominal pain and a feeling of heaviness normal after ring removal?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is normal. Careful observation is sufficient. Post-IUD Removal Precautions:
1. After IUD removal, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort, which usually subsides naturally within one week and does not require treatment. If bleeding is heavy, accompanied by abdominal pain, or fever, seek medical attention promptly. Maintain good hygiene for the external genital area. Wash the vulva with clean water every night, but avoid inserting fingers into the vagina. Avoid sexual intercourse,, swimming, and saunas for 2 weeks.
If you experience severe discomfort, it is recommended to visit a hospital for examination to rule out the possibility of infection or inflammation.
