Hello Doctor,
I had my IUD removed two days ago, and last night I started feeling really unwell. I felt dizzy and lightheaded, and I've been passing clots since last night and into this morning. I had terrible night sweats, and I still feel pretty bad right now. I've also been experiencing chills. Is this normal after an IUD removal, or should I be concerned?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Given the symptoms you're experiencing, it's important that you get checked for a pelvic infection or even sepsis. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation. This will likely include a swab test, blood tests with cultures, a urine test (routine and culture), and liver and kidney function tests.
2. The treatment will depend on the site of the infection, and you may need hospitalization for IV antibiotics if the infection is serious. Please seek medical attention immediately to ensure you receive the proper care.
Thanks
