Is it okay to not remove the IUD after 30 years?

For the sake of convenience, many women use contraceptive rings for contraception. They think that this contraceptive method is once and for all, and even feel that there is no need to remove the ring after it is inserted. This idea is dominant among many women, and this misconception affects women's physical and mental health. So is it okay to have an IUD for 30 years without removing it?

1. If the inserted ring has reached the required period, you should go to the hospital immediately to remove the ring to prevent the ring from deforming or becoming ineffective in the uterus. Generally, metal rings can be stored for 20 years, silicone V-rings can be stored for 7 to 10 years, and sleeve T-rings can be stored for 10 to 15 years. A new ring can be put in while removing the IUD.

2. Before removing the IUD, you should first perform an X-ray or "B" type ultrasound examination. If the IUD contains a tail thread, you need to ask the doctor to dilate the vulva to see if there is any nylon thread outside the cervical opening to confirm that the ring is in the uterine body before removing the IUD. The best time to remove the IUD is within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period is over, which can reduce bleeding.

3. Come to the hospital to remove the IUD within 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period ends (sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited).

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

5. If there is a significant change in the menstrual cycle during menopause, such as the cycle lengthens or menopause lasts for more than 6 months, the ring should be removed immediately.

How long does it take to get pregnant after taking out the IUD?

Generally, pregnancy can only be achieved after 2-3 menstrual periods have been restored after the IUD is removed. Women of appropriate age should rest for 3 days after removing the IUD and are prohibited from having sex or taking a bath within 2 weeks to prevent infection. Some women may have a small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody leucorrhea after removing the IUD. Generally, it will disappear naturally after one or two days. This is normal. It is mainly caused by the stimulation of the uterine wall and cervix by the removal of the IUD. If the bleeding is heavy or the bleeding time is long after removing the IUD, you must seek medical attention in time to prevent infection. If you plan to get pregnant, it is best to remove the IUD three months in advance. Regardless of how long the ring is in place, the contraceptive ring as a foreign body will more or less cause harm and impact on the uterine wall tissue, which is not good for the development of the test tube embryo or fetus, and will cause defects to the newborn baby. Its adverse effects are very bad. Women who used to wear contraceptive rings, when planning to get pregnant, need to wait for a period of time (2-3 normal menstrual cycles) before getting pregnant, in order to give the uterine wall time to repair, which is conducive to eugenics.
