Frequently Asked Questions
Does IUD removal hurt?▾
Most patients feel mild to moderate cramping, similar to period pain, lasting only seconds to a minute. Some feel only slight pressure. Your provider can discuss pain management options beforehand if you are anxious.
Can I get pregnant immediately after removal?▾
Yes. Fertility typically returns within the first cycle. If you are not planning pregnancy, discuss backup contraception with your provider at your removal appointment.
What are the risks of IUD removal?▾
Removal is low-risk when performed by a trained provider. Rare complications include incomplete removal or perforation, which your provider screens for during your visit.
How long does the appointment take?▾
Plan 30 to 45 minutes in total, including check-in, discussion with your provider, the removal itself (usually a few minutes) and aftercare counseling.
Can I drive home afterward?▾
Yes. Most patients drive themselves home. Mild cramping typically subsides within an hour. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
What should I do if I have complications after removal?▾
Call our office if you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever or signs of infection. Calls are answered around the clock and the office follows up on the next business day; for severe symptoms, go to the emergency room.
