Post-Removal Care Instructions

The main post-removal IUD care instructions are as follows: 1. Monitor for bleeding: Light bleeding may occur within one week after IUD removal. If heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain occurs, seek medical attention promptly. 2. Maintain hygiene: Keep the genital area clean. Wash the external genitalia daily with warm water, change underwear frequently, and choose breathable cotton underwear to prevent infection. 3. Avoid early sexual activity: Refrain from sexual intercourse for two weeks after IUD removal. Also avoid swimming and hot spring baths to prevent infection. 4. Take medication as prescribed: Follow the doctor's instructions to take medications, such as antibiotics or pain relievers, to promote recovery and prevent infection. 5. Adjust diet: Ensure balanced nutrition intake, increase consumption of high-quality protein foods, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. 6. Schedule follow-up visits: Attend follow-up appointments as advised by your doctor to ensure proper recovery. 7. Practice contraception: If you do not have plans for pregnancy, use contraceptive measures to prevent unintended pregnancy.
