Introduction
Removal of an intrauterine device (IUD) is a common gynecological clinical procedure that involves taking out the IUD from the uterus. The procedure should be performed at a正规 hospital. Prior to the surgery, patients undergo relevant examinations such as ultrasound, complete blood count, and routine vaginal discharge test under the guidance of a physician. After confirming normal test results, the patient signs a surgical consent form. Following the procedure, patients should monitor for possible complications such as vaginal bleeding, infection, or fever.
Removal of an intrauterine device (IUD) is a common gynecological clinical procedure that involves taking out the IUD from the uterus. The procedure should be performed at a正规 hospital, and the specific steps are as follows:
1. Prior to the procedure, patients undergo relevant examinations such as ultrasound, complete blood count, and routine vaginal discharge tests under the guidance of a physician. After confirming normal results, the patient signs the surgical consent form.
2. The patient enters the operating room and assumes the lithotomy position. The physician performs routine disinfection of the external genitalia and vaginal opening, then lays down sterile drapes.
3. A speculum is used to dilate the vagina and expose the cervix. Then, a cervical clamp is used to grasp the anterior lip of the cervix, and a probe is inserted to the fundus of the uterus to locate the IUD.
4. The IUD is grasped and gently rotated slightly to ensure it is completely detached and removed.
5. After removal, the physician checks whether there is any uterine bleeding or contractions.
Following the procedure, patients should monitor for vaginal bleeding, infection, fever, or other symptoms, and seek medical attention promptly if any of these occur.
