Abnormal vaginal discharge after the ring is removed

Abnormal vaginal discharge after the IUD is removed may be related to changes in hormone levels, infection or inflammation after the IUD is removed. Treatment methods include observing symptoms, taking medications and adjusting lifestyle habits.

1. Changes in hormone levels

After the IUD is removed, the hormone levels in the body may fluctuate, resulting in an increase in vaginal discharge or changes in the properties of the discharge. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and will usually resolve on its own within 1-2 months. If the abnormal vaginal discharge persists for a long time, it is recommended to see a doctor to check the hormone levels and, if necessary, use hormone regulating drugs such as progesterone or estrogen preparations under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Infection or inflammation

When removing the IUD, improper operation or poor postoperative care may cause infection, resulting in abnormal vaginal discharge. Common symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, yellow or green color, odor or itching. At this time, you need to see a doctor in time. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics (such as metronidazole, amoxicillin) or antifungal drugs (such as fluconazole) for treatment. At the same time, keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid using irritating washes.

3. Adjust your lifestyle

The body is more sensitive after surgery, so you need to pay attention to your diet and daily routine. It is recommended to eat more foods rich in vitamin C and protein, such as oranges, eggs, and lean meat, to enhance immunity. Avoid spicy and greasy foods to reduce stimulation to the body. Appropriate exercise (such as yoga and walking) can help promote blood circulation and accelerate physical recovery.

Abnormal vaginal discharge is common after the IUD is removed, but whether you need to see a doctor depends on the specific situation. If the symptoms are mild and there is no other discomfort, you can observe for 1-2 weeks; if the abnormal vaginal discharge is accompanied by odor, itching or abdominal pain, you should see a doctor in time to check for infection or other gynecological diseases. Pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, avoid premature sexual intercourse, and have regular checkups to ensure that your body recovers well.
