Hysteroscopy is a method of assisting in the removal of an intrauterine device (IUD), and general anesthesia is also used. Therefore, for women who need to remove an IUD, this surgery is generally painless. With the help of hysteroscopy, the specific location of the IUD can be more accurately determined, making the operation faster and more convenient. So, under what circumstances should hysteroscopy be used to remove the intrauterine device?
Generally speaking, if the ring has deviated from the uterine wall or cannot be removed, hysteroscopy can be used to remove the ring. At the same time, the ring should be removed 3-7 days after the menstrual cycle is clean. The position of the ring is normal and can be removed by dismantling the ring. In addition, it can be removed under hysteroscopy, but sexual intercourse is not allowed for half a month and must wait until one month later.
Within 6 hours after undergoing hysteroscopic ring removal surgery, the patient needs to rest in bed without a pillow on their head. After resting for 6 hours, you can slowly get out of bed and observe vaginal bleeding after surgery. If there is significant vaginal bleeding, it is important to inform the doctor promptly and follow their instructions to address the issue of vaginal bleeding.
At the same time, it is necessary to observe the patient's urination after the surgery. If the patient experiences difficulty urinating, assistance should be provided and if necessary, instruments can be used for catheterization. If medication is given to the patient's perineum after surgery, attention should be paid to the health of the patient's perineum. It is necessary to clean the perineum twice a day to avoid perineal infections and the occurrence of gynecological inflammations.
