How long does it take for a woman to have an IUD removed?

Many women only know that the IUD can achieve the actual effect of contraception, but they have no idea how long it takes to remove the IUD after it is inserted. Experts remind that although the IUD can achieve the actual effect of contraception, it is not a permanent solution. So how long does it take to remove the IUD after it is inserted?

The IUD can be used continuously for many years after it is placed once, generally divided into 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, etc.; the types include stainless steel metal ring, silicone rubber ring, plastic ring, etc.; the shapes include ring-shaped, intrauterine shape, T-shaped, etc. Experts say that except for some women who cannot have contraceptive rings due to their own medical conditions, gynecologists usually comprehensively consider the selection of contraceptive rings based on the patient's uterine condition and the patient's requirements. Experts remind that when the IUD expires, it should be replaced immediately to avoid affecting the effectiveness of contraception.

Pregnancy after "IUD insertion" should be terminated. After the placement of the IUD, many people still get pregnant for various reasons. Doctors say that because the IUD may affect the development of the fetus and even get stuck in the fetus's muscles, the fetus is generally not suitable for survival in this case.

Because the uterus is sensitive to the ring and contracts to expel the ring, the ring is not put into the fundus of the uterus, the cervix is ​​too loose, the contraceptive ring is disordered, etc., all of these may cause accidental pregnancy. The contraceptive ring is very likely to fall off within three months after the operation. Therefore, gynecologists generally recommend that female friends use other contraceptive measures to assist the contraceptive ring for safe contraception.

What are the common problems women face after having an IUD inserted?

1. There may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after insertion, which will mostly disappear on their own; the main complication of intrauterine contraceptive ring insertion is bleeding. The clinical symptoms are excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual periods, and non-menstrual bleeding during menstrual periods. Generally speaking, there will always be bleeding after the ring is placed, but it will not exceed a week. If the bleeding lasts for more than a week, or the bleeding is as much as the menstrual period, it is considered an abnormal reaction. If there is heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, or fever, you should go to a medical clinic for treatment;

2. Do not do heavy physical work within a week; stay in bed and rest within three days. Exerting too much can cause bleeding and inflammation.

3. Sitz baths, sexual intercourse, food, clothing, housing and transportation are strictly prohibited within half a month after the operation.

4. Within 3 months after insertion, pay attention to less activity and avoid strenuous activities, including long-term walking around, long-term sitting, standing, etc. If the menstrual flow is likely to increase, you should pay attention to whether the contraceptive ring falls off during the menstrual period. Do not have sex or take a sitz bath if there is vaginal bleeding.

If any of the following conditions occur, see a doctor immediately: severe abdominal pain, fever, pelvic pain, increased female secretions; menstrual period has not stopped or there is a possibility of pregnancy; the birth control ring falls off; pain during sexual intercourse; excessive bleeding or non-menstrual bleeding or bleeding that does not stop.
