What is the best time to remove the IUD and what are the precautions?

Some women place an intrauterine contraceptive ring to achieve better contraception. However, some people have allergic reactions to the contraceptive ring and need to have it removed; some people also need to have it removed because they want to get pregnant; some women have reached menopause and also need to have the contraceptive ring removed. So, when is the best time to remove the ring? What should you pay attention to when removing the ring?

The best time to take the ring:

The best time to remove the IUD should be chosen according to different women. If a general woman of childbearing age needs to get pregnant, the best time to remove the IUD is 3-5 days after the menstruation ends, and it is best to do it half a year or one year in advance. If a menopausal woman needs to remove the IUD, it is generally most appropriate to remove the IUD within 6 months to one year after menopause. Removing the IUD too early or too late will have an impact on the body. If the contraceptive ring inserted into a woman's body has reached its expiration date or if there is obvious discomfort after the ring is inserted, the ring should be removed as soon as possible.

Precautions for removing the ring

1. An ultrasound examination is required before removing the IUD, and the IUD is required to be removed 3-5 days after the menstrual period ends.

2. Before removing the IUD, keep the vulva clean, wash it every day, and change underwear frequently. This is a very important thing to note before removing the ring.

3. Do not do heavy physical labor within one week before removing the IUD, and avoid sexual intercourse and bathing within two weeks.

4. If you do not plan to get pregnant, you should choose other contraceptive methods after removing the IUD.

5. After the IUD is removed, take medication regularly as prescribed by the doctor.

6. There will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after the IUD removal, which usually disappears naturally within a week and does not require any treatment. If there is heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, and fever, you should seek medical attention promptly. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Wash the vulva with clean water every night. Do not use your hands to clean the vagina. Avoid sexual intercourse, bathing in a tub, swimming, and taking a sauna within 2 weeks.

The best time to remove the IUD is within three days after the end of menstruation. If you want to get pregnant, it is best to remove the IUD six months in advance. After removing the IUD, you should rest for half a year before getting pregnant. If you have already gone through menopause, you can take it out six months to one year after menopause, which is safer. After removing the IUD, you must pay attention to rest, avoid heavy physical labor within a week, avoid sexual intercourse within two weeks, and take a shower instead of a bath.
