Hysteroscopic IUD removal and general IUD removal both carry certain risks and can cause harm to a woman’s body, with the general IUD removal causing relatively more harm. In general, IUD removal is done with a probe and a hook, so that you can’t see the location of the ring directly, and it is done by the doctor’s hand. In contrast, hysteroscopic IUD removal is to observe the situation in the uterine cavity under visual conditions, to know accurately the location of the IUD and whether there is a displaced or embedded IUD, and to use IUD removal instruments under direct vision to remove the IUD accurately from the uterine cavity. The general IUD removal surgery is more risky than hysteroscopic IUD removal because it is done by the doctor’s hand only. If the surgery is wrong, it will not only seriously damage the cervix and cause a series of gynecological diseases, but may also lead to lifelong infertility. In addition, hysteroscopic IUD removal is a minimally invasive procedure, and symptoms such as postoperative pain and vaginal bleeding are relatively mild. Since the IUD has a certain number of years of use, it is recommended to choose a regular hospital gynecology department to perform the procedure when it expires or when you are planning to have another child, so that you can reduce the risk of surgery to a certain extent.
