It is not recommended to touch cold water after IUD removal as it may cause discomfort in the lower abdomen.
After IUD removal, a woman’s body is in a weaker state, and touching cold water may cause the uterus to contract, resulting in lower abdominal discomfort and pain, and may also cause increased vaginal bleeding. IUD removal may also damage the endometrium and cervix, and continuous bleeding may increase the risk of endometritis and cervicitis.
Therefore, it is better for women not to touch cold water until the end of vaginal bleeding after IUD removal, prohibit sex and tub baths, avoid heavy physical activities, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and pay attention to a light and nutritious diet. In order to avoid inflammation, antibiotics can be used under doctor’s guidance to prevent infection, such as levofloxacin, etc., so as not to cause adverse consequences.
