How long can the IUD be left in the body?

Generally, many women who have given birth will put an IUD in their body, because it can effectively prevent pregnancy. Especially during the family planning period in my country, most women were forced to put in an IUD. However, the IUD also has a certain period of use, and it must be removed after age, otherwise it is likely to grow in the woman's uterus. So how long can the IUD be placed in the body?

Most women choose to wear an IUD for contraception after giving birth because it is more convenient and has a high success rate for contraception. However, many people don’t know how long this thing can be kept in the body. I heard that some people have not had the IUD removed until they are over 60 years old. This situation means that her physique is suitable for wearing an IUD, but after a long time, this thing will adhere to the cervix. If too much force is used when removing it, it will cause muscle tearing. The adhered muscle tissue should be gently scraped away from the edge of the IUD before removing it, otherwise it will cause severe bleeding or infection.

There are also many people who are particularly resistant to IUDs. In this case, don't use the same method of contraception anymore. You can choose a contraceptive method that is more suitable for you. Some women's bodies do not reject the IUD, but the position of the IUD may change in the body after a few years. If the position changes, it will affect the contraceptive effect. Most cases of pregnancy while wearing an IUD are caused by not checking the position of the IUD regularly after wearing it. Therefore, it is best to check its changes once a year after wearing it to avoid unnecessary trouble.

It should be noted that the IUD should be worn about a week after menstruation, and no sexual intercourse should be performed during that period. There will be slight discomfort after wearing the IUD. It is best not to do strenuous activities. It is safest to have sex one month later. I didn’t know there were so many things to pay attention to when using IUDs. Female friends should really come in and take a look.
