Generally speaking, when you are about to go through menopause, you can find an opportunity to take it out. There are two benefits to taking it out at this time. First, you can get a general understanding of the condition of the endometrium and the uterine cavity, especially whether there are any pathological problems in the endometrium. If there are any, you can deal with them in time. Second, after the ring is taken out, the menstruation will completely stop. If there is a possibility of bleeding again, there is no need to doubt this problem. You can directly diagnose and identify other diseases. Therefore, taking it out when you are about to go through menopause has only benefits, not disadvantages.

Therefore, if a woman does not want to get pregnant temporarily, she can choose to have an IUD. However, if a couple has already given birth and their children are not preparing to have children, in order to avoid an unexpected pregnancy, it is recommended to choose vasectomy.
