When to remove the contraceptive ring

Some women do not want to get pregnant but find it troublesome to take measures every day, so they choose to use contraceptive rings. However, contraceptive rings are not permanent. They have a certain life span and will lose their contraceptive effect after the expiration date, so they need to be taken out. If the expired contraceptive ring is not taken out for a long time, it may cause excessive uterine bleeding and may also damage the uterus. So how should the contraceptive ring be taken out?

The IUD has a lifespan limit, and different types of IUDs have different lifespans. The earliest "T" copper ring can be placed after menopause, and some people keep it in place for as long as 10-20 years. If the IUD is not removed for a long time, it will become a foreign body and may migrate or fall off in the uterine cavity. The most common after the IUD is placed:

1. The endometrial ring moves downward, and the contraceptive effect becomes ineffective;

2. Placing an IUD may cause excessive bleeding;

3. The placement of the IUD may cause uterine contractions, leading to severe abdominal pain;

4. Sometimes the size of the IUD is not suitable and it may cause lower abdominal pain;

5. If the patient is not suitable for the placement of an IUD, it will cause contraceptive failure and the IUD needs to be removed.

Generally speaking, medicated IUDs have a lifespan limit, for example, a lifespan of 5 years. After 5 years, the drug content of the IUD decreases and the IUD needs to be removed. For non-drug contraceptive rings, they can be left in place for a longer period of time, such as 5-10 years. If the IUD moves downward, remove it at any time. In addition, the IUD should be removed as soon as possible after menopause.

How to remove the contraceptive ring

The process of removing the IUD is similar to the process of inserting it. First, you need to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check 3-7 days after your period is over to confirm the presence of the IUD. Secondly, check your blood routine and leucorrhea routine. Only when there is no problem can you remove the IUD. Generally speaking, the most common way to remove the IUD is to go to a local hospital and then have the doctor perform an artificial IUD removal surgery. The best time to remove the IUD is 3-7 days after your period ends.

When to remove the contraceptive ring

When removing the contraceptive ring, you must go to a family planning technical service agency or hospital to have a specialist doctor remove it under sterile conditions. The best time to remove the ring is within 3-7 days after the menstruation is over. Sexual intercourse and bathing are prohibited 3 days before and two weeks after removal to prevent bleeding and infection. If there is bloody leucorrhea or a little bleeding after removal, it will disappear naturally after 1-2 days. If there is a lot of bleeding, it lasts for a long time, or there is lower abdominal pain, you should get timely diagnosis and treatment. After removing the IUD, if you want to get pregnant, it is generally best to wait six months to a year. If you are in urgent need of getting pregnant, you should wait for a while (2-3 normal menstrual cycles) before conceiving to give the endometrium time to recover, which is beneficial for eugenics.
