When not planning to have a baby, many women adopt different contraceptive measures. Currently, the main contraceptive measures include safe period contraception, condom contraception, and contraceptive ring contraception. Different contraceptive measures have their advantages and disadvantages, and choosing the one that is more suitable for oneself is the most important. So which one hurts, getting an IUD or getting an IUD removed? Let's follow the editor to learn more!
Removing an intrauterine device (IUD) can be more painful. Generally, as long as the cervix is relatively loose during IUD insertion, there will not be any special sensation. However, during IUD removal, it may be difficult due to prolonged insertion or misalignment of the IUD. Some women have a tight cervix and require dilation during the removal of the intrauterine device, which can cause pain during the procedure. Moreover, the pain of removing the ring is directly related to the technical level of the surgical operator. If the doctor's ring removal technique is proficient, they can quickly remove the ring and the pain will be minimal.
In addition, women may experience some physical discomfort after removing the intrauterine device, such as fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal bleeding exceeding menstrual flow. They should seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, attention should be paid to rest and sexual activity should be prohibited within two weeks. Pay more attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the private parts to ensure that the body can recover to normal levels at a faster rate.
