The best time for women to remove the IUD

Unexpected pregnancy always disturbs our lives, so contraception becomes a good choice. Contraceptive rings are popular because they are safe and convenient, do not require any preparation before sex, and women with rings will not feel any discomfort. However, because the validity period of the contraceptive ring is only one to several years, women who are wearing it need to remove it when it expires. But the time of removing the ring is very important. If the ring is removed at the wrong time, it will cause great harm to the female body. Here we will introduce to you the best time for women to remove the ring.

1. If the previously placed ring has expired and needs to be replaced, a new ring can be placed at the same time as the ring is removed. You can also insert a new ring after your next menstrual period is over. But you must remember to use contraception during the month after removing the IUD.

2. Remove the ring after the menstruation is over. It is best to remove the IUD 3-7 days after the menstruation is over, if there is no sexual intercourse history, because at this time the endometrium is just beginning to grow and the endometrium is thin, so bleeding can be avoided during placement. At the same time, if there is no sexual intercourse after menstruation, the possibility of the fertilized egg having grown on the endometrium when the IUD is removed is avoided. Generally, most women choose to remove the IUD at this time.

3. Before menopause. It is best for women to go to the hospital to remove the IUD before the desperate period to avoid the IUD staying in the uterus for a long time and causing uterine bacterial infection. Moreover, for postmenopausal women, it is impossible to get pregnant again because of the reduced ovarian ovulation function.

Precautions after removing the IUD: Pay attention to hygiene and avoid infection. Wash your vulva every night and keep it clean. No sexual intercourse or sitz baths for 2 weeks. Take oral antibiotics for three to five days to prevent infection, as this is an invasive procedure after all. On the day of IUD removal, you may experience mild abdominal pain, back pain, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If heavy bleeding occurs after removal of the IUD, you must go to the hospital for a follow-up visit.

The most commonly used contraceptive ring usage period: Currently, the two most commonly used contraceptive rings in clinical practice are the Maternity Ring and the Aimu Ring. The Maternity Ring is easy to insert and remove and has few side effects. It needs to be replaced every five years. The IUD has few side effects, a long usage period, and should be replaced once every ten years.

Experts point out that the IUD needs to be removed in time in the above three situations. At the same time, please note that an X-ray or B-ultrasound examination should be performed before removing the IUD. For the IUD with a tail thread, the vaginal opening needs to be expanded to see if there is any nylon thread outside the uterine opening to confirm that the contraceptive ring is in the uterine cavity before removing the ring.

In today's society, where the competitive pressure is so great, women need even more care. Through the above series of introductions, I believe everyone must have some understanding of the correct time for women to remove the IUD. In addition, women with IUDs need to be reminded to pay attention to the time of wearing the IUD and have the IUD removed in a regular hospital within the best time mentioned above. After removing the IUD, everyone should also pay attention to rest, strengthen nutrition, and recover in the shortest time possible, so as to better ensure your quality of life.
