What is the process of removing the IUD?

The procedure of IUD removal is divided into three parts: preoperative preparation, intraoperative operation and postoperative precautions.
1. Pre-operative preparation: It is preferable to choose the time of removing the IUD from 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period is cleaned up, but for menopausal women, there is no restriction on the time of menstrual cycle, but all women who are going to remove the IUD are forbidden to have coitus for 3 days before the operation.
In addition, before going to remove the IUD, you need to carry out blood routine, coagulation function, vaginal ultrasound, leukorrhea routine and other examinations, and there is no abnormality before you can remove the IUD.
2. Intraoperative operation: It is recommended that the patient empty the bladder, take the cystotomy position, lie flat on the operating bed, and then routinely disinfect the vulva, place the speculum to expose the cervix. If the tail filament can be seen at the external cervical opening, use vascular forceps to hold the tail filament and gently pull it out.
If there is no tail filament, it is necessary to use a probe to detect the depth and direction of the uterine cavity and feel the location of the IUD in the uterine cavity, remove the probe from the uterine cavity, and then change the groove for removing the IUD.
For those who have difficulty in removing the IUD, the operation can be carried out with the assistance of ultrasound, and if necessary, the IUD can be removed under hysteroscopy.
3. Post-operative precautions: After the removal of the IUD need appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment, need to pay attention to rest, 2 weeks after the removal of the IUD prohibit sex and bath.
