After removing the intrauterine device (IUD), there is bleeding. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

Post-IUD Removal Precautions
1. After IUD removal, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort, which usually naturally subsides within a week and does not require treatment. If there is excessive bleeding, abdominal pain, or fever, seek medical attention promptly.
It is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area. Wash the external genital area with clean water every night, but avoid using fingers to clean the vagina. Avoid sexual intercourse, tub baths, swimming, and saunas for 2 weeks.
There is a possibility of infection in your case, so it is recommended to visit a hospital for examination and treatment promptly.
