Introduction
To remove an intrauterine device (IUD) at a Maternal and Child Health Hospital, register under the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, as IUD removal is a procedure performed within the uterus. Registration can also be done through the Family Planning Department. When visiting the doctor, clearly express your intention to remove the IUD. The physician will then conduct appropriate examinations based on your health condition to determine whether there are gynecological inflammations or to confirm the position of the IUD. If you meet the necessary criteria, the IUD removal procedure will proceed.
For IUD removal, register under Obstetrics and Gynecology at a Maternal and Child Health Hospital, as IUD removal is an intrauterine procedure and thus requires an appointment with the obstetrics and gynecology department. Alternatively, registration can also be done through the family planning department.
When visiting the doctor, clearly express your intention to remove the IUD. The physician will perform appropriate examinations based on your individual health condition to determine whether there are any gynecological inflammations or to confirm the position of the IUD. The IUD removal procedure will proceed only if you meet the necessary conditions. If genital inflammation is present, it's advisable to wait until the inflammation has resolved before removing the IUD, to prevent the spread of infection.
After IUD removal, take adequate rest. Avoid sexual intercourse and bathing immediately afterward to reduce the risk of pathogen invasion and potential gynecological infections. It is recommended that patients maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, ensure sufficient rest, avoid staying up late, engage in moderate exercise, and maintain a positive and optimistic mindset, all of which contribute to better recovery and overall health.
