How do women remove the IUD?

After a woman has given birth to a child, she will be asked to have an intrauterine device inserted. This is a method used by many women of childbearing age in my country to achieve long-term contraception. The ring inserted in the body has a certain lifespan. When the time is up, you need to go to the hospital for a minor surgery to remove the ring. At the same time, you can also insert a new ring. So some women want to know how to remove the IUD. Next, let’s take a detailed look at the methods and precautions for women to remove the IUD.

Removal of an IUD requires proof. If you need to remove it again after it has been inserted, you need to go to the local family planning office to obtain a relevant certificate before the hospital can perform the IUD removal operation. Removal of the IUD refers to the insertion of the IUD. The function of the contraceptive IUD is to prevent pregnancy during the reproductive period. After entering menopause (45 years old), the probability of pregnancy is almost zero, and the side effects of the IUD become obvious, so the IUD should be removed in time.

1. If the inserted ring has reached the prescribed period, you should go to the hospital to remove the ring in time to avoid deformation or failure of the ring in the uterus. Generally, metal rings can be stored for 20 years, silicone rubber V-rings can be stored for 7 to 10 years, and copper sleeve T-rings can be stored for 10 to 15 years. A new ring can be put in while removing the ring.

2. Before removing the ring, you should first undergo an X-ray fluoroscopy or "B" type ultrasound examination. For a ring with a tail thread, ask the doctor to dilate the vaginal opening to see if there is any nylon thread outside the uterine opening to confirm that the ring is in the uterine cavity before removing it. The best time to remove the ring is within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over, which can reduce bleeding.

3. Come to the hospital to remove the IUD within 3 to 5 days after your period ends (no sexual intercourse).

4. Take appropriate amount of anti-infection and hemostatic drugs after removing the IUD.

5. If there are obvious changes in the menstrual cycle during menopause, such as the cycle becomes longer or menopause lasts for more than 6 months, the ring should be removed in time.

Through the above detailed introduction to the methods and precautions for removing IUDs for women, I believe that women who are preparing to remove IUDs will have a better understanding. The IUD removal process is a very simple minor operation and women do not need to worry about the safety of the operation. However, it should be noted that after the IUD removal surgery, it is best to use other contraceptive methods within six months, such as using condoms.
