How long does it take for a woman to change her IUD?

Most people think that condoms are a very simple contraceptive measure. Actually, it is not. There is a contraceptive method that is safer and simpler than condoms. It is the IUD. So how often do women change their IUDs? How often do women change their IUDs? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

Can a woman change her IUD every two years after having it inserted? It depends on which type of IUD you have. Each ring has a very clear indication. For example, if you have a T-type model, it is generally considered to be replaced every 5 years. The early metal rings and ring-shaped metal rings theoretically need to be replaced about every 10 years. Of course, some women haven't changed it for many years. Is it a problem? It's not necessarily a problem. You need to do B-ultrasound regularly to check the position of the ring and see if it is displaced from the normal position. You need to go for follow-up examinations.

1. Different contraceptive rings stay in the human body for different periods of time. Stainless steel plate rings can generally last up to 20 years in the human body, and the stainless steel wire still has some of its original properties and can be used until a woman reaches menopause before being removed. There will not be much difficulty in removing the IUD, as the woman's uterus has already shrunk. But for some people it is difficult to take it off.

2. A mixed ring of metal and plastic. This type of contraceptive ring is very prone to brittleness. It will become hard or deformed after a long time, and in serious cases it will continue to rupture. Therefore, the placement time is relatively short, and it is generally better to replace it every 3 to 5 years.

3. Copper contraceptive rings, most of which are made of stainless steel or copper wire wrapped around plastic. The contraceptive ring with a plastic support frame can be placed in the uterus for 3 to 5 years. Contraceptive rings made of this material are very prone to embrittlement. If the contraceptive ring is made of stainless steel, it can be placed in the uterus for 8 to 10 years.

The placement time of the contraceptive ring in the uterus is determined by the material of the contraceptive ring. When women wear contraceptive rings, they can choose the appropriate contraceptive ring according to their actual requirements.
