Which ring is better?

Many couples will use IUDs to prevent pregnancy after giving birth. Although this method of contraception will cause certain harm to women's bodies, its contraceptive effect is indeed very good. There are many types of IUDs. For those with good family conditions, IUDs with better materials should be selected. So what kind of IUD is best for women?

When is the right time to remove the IUD?

Women who want to get pregnant

If you plan to get pregnant, it is best to remove the IUD 3 months in advance. Regardless of how long the ring is in place, the contraceptive ring as a foreign body will more or less cause certain damage and impact on the endometrial tissue, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the embryo or fetus. The best time to remove the ring is about 3-5 days after the menstrual period ends.

Women entering menopause

The function of the contraceptive ring is to prevent pregnancy during the reproductive period. After entering menopause, the probability of pregnancy is almost zero, and the side effects of the ring become obvious, so the ring should be removed in time. When a woman reaches menopause, she should go to a regular hospital to remove the IUD within the prescribed time to avoid the IUD becoming stuck and making removal difficult. Experts generally believe that it is best to remove the IUD about a year after a woman's menopause has stabilized. It is not good to remove the IUD too early or too late.

Women whose IUD expires

Generally speaking, IUDs have a certain stipulated period of time, and you should go to the hospital to have the ring removed in time to prevent it from deforming or becoming ineffective in the uterus. Generally, metal rings can be stored for 20 years, silicone rubber V-rings can be stored for 7 to 10 years, and copper sleeve T-rings can be stored for 10 to 15 years. A new ring can be inserted when the ring is removed and will not be removed until menopause. Therefore, female friends who have inserted the IUD must remember the time when it was inserted. If the IUD is not removed after its expiration date, it will be harmful to the body.

Preparation before IUD removal

1. Preoperative examination is very necessary. If a woman has gynecological diseases at this time, she should carefully consider the time to remove the IUD. Routine blood test, routine leucorrhea test, and B-ultrasound examination are all necessary examination items.

2. Do not eat or drink for 4 hours before surgery. For patients with tight cervix, take 0.6 mg of miso before surgery and then perform surgery 2 hours later.

3. For postmenopausal women whose uterus has atrophied, they need to take Progynaecology or Premarin for one week before the operation.

4. Take a bath (shower) the day before the operation, clean the vulva on the day of the operation, and bring necessary items such as sanitary napkins.

5. Come to the hospital on an empty stomach on the day of surgery. If the body temperature measured before surgery exceeds 37.5 degrees, the surgery will be postponed. If there is an inflammatory infection, it must be treated before the ring is removed. The purpose is to prevent inflammatory infection and excessive bleeding.
