IUD removal is usually a procedure where a woman goes to the hospital to have the IUD removed if she no longer needs birth control. You can have intercourse one week before the IUD is removed, but not in the week before the IUD is removed. The reasons why you can’t have intercourse a week before the IUD removal include the following: 1. Increase the chance of infection: In general, after intercourse, women’s reproductive organs will bleed to varying degrees and be contaminated by foreign bodies and bacteria. In addition, the soft tissues of the reproductive organs are fragile, so if you have intercourse within a week, it may increase the occurrence of intraoperative infection and may even lead to vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.; 2, increase the difficulty of removing the ring: the acid-base balance of women’s vagina may change due to the act of intercourse, so if you have intercourse, it may break the balance of vaginal flora and increase the difficulty of removing the ring; 3, increase the risk of accidental conception The risk of accidental conception: If intercourse occurs within a week, especially near the time of IUD removal, the ovaries may still ovulate, and it is very likely that a fertilized egg will be laid after IUD removal, leading to accidental conception and increasing the risk of IUD removal. Therefore, women should pay attention to keep their reproductive organs clean during the week before IUD removal to prevent cross-infection. If a woman has abnormal leucorrhea and is suspected of having a reproductive tract disease, she should heal before removing the IUD. Before removing the IUD, women should have an X-ray or B-ultrasound examination to ensure the basic conditions such as the position and shape of the intrauterine contraceptive ring, and the doctor should confirm that there are no contraindications before taking the IUD.
