What are the dangers of wearing an IUD for ten years?

The IUD is the safest, most effective and convenient contraceptive method. However, if the IUD is left in place for too long, it may cause certain harm to a woman's ovaries. Over time, bacteria will grow on the IUD, causing gynecological inflammation. Therefore, an IUD that has been in place for too long needs to be replaced in the hospital in time. The IUD has little impact on other parts of the body and will not affect fertility after removal. So what are the dangers of wearing an IUD for ten years?

The IUD, also known as the intrauterine contraceptive device, is a relatively safe, effective, simple, economical, reversible contraceptive device that is easily accepted by the majority of women. There are two types of contraceptive devices: inert and active intrauterine devices. The contraceptive principles include: interfering with implantation, affecting the development of the fertilized egg, changing the natural environment in the uterine cavity, increasing the number of inflammatory cells in the uterine cavity, and opposing the body's immunity to blastocyst implantation tolerance, causing the blastocyst to disintegrate.

Generally, there is no obvious change in menstrual volume and color after IUD insertion. At present, it is considered that having IUD inserted for ten years has no effect on the body. Relax your nervous emotions to avoid affecting normal menstruation. Continue to use the contraceptive ring. If you experience vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain or other discomfort, consider removing the ring within 3-7 days after the menstruation ends.

Stainless steel metal rings can be placed for 15 to 20 years; silicone, plastic or other types of contraceptive rings can be placed for 5 to 7 years. The IUD has less interference to the whole body and acts locally. It does not affect fertility after removal, so there is no need to worry. An X-ray or B-ultrasound examination should be performed before removing the ring. The best time to remove the ring is within 3-7 days after the menstruation is over, which can reduce bleeding. Rest adequately within 2 weeks after removing the IUD, avoid strenuous physical activity, and eat nutritious food. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, and avoid bathing and sexual intercourse within 2 weeks. On the day after the IUD is removed, you may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, back pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the amount of vaginal bleeding after surgery exceeds the amount of menstruation, or the bleeding continues after half a month, or the abdominal pain is severe, please go to the hospital for a follow-up visit immediately.
