How long after menopause can I remove the ring?

In order to prevent contraceptive failure, many women choose to use the IUD method for contraception. However, this method of contraception is not suitable for everyone. Some people must undergo surgery again to remove the IUD in the uterus when they are preparing to get pregnant. Only in this way can they achieve the effect of pregnancy. However, surgery cannot be performed during menstruation, and it will take a long time after the menstruation stops before the IUD can be removed.

How many days after menstruation can I remove the ring

How many days after menstruation can a woman remove the IUD? The best time to remove the IUD is six months before planning to get pregnant, and within 3-5 days after the menstrual period ends.

Experts point out that the IUD is one of the very good contraceptive measures for women, but the effect of the IUD is lost after women reach menopause, so it is very important to remove the IUD at this time. However, when removing the IUD, you must pay attention to the precautions for removing the IUD, such as the IUD cannot be removed during menstruation.

It is worth noting that before removing the ring, an X-ray fluoroscopy or B-type ultrasound examination should be performed to confirm that the ring is in the uterine cavity before removing the ring. After the removal of the IUD, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody leucorrhea, which will disappear naturally in a day or two. This is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium and cervix by the removal of the IUD. It is a normal phenomenon. If the bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time, you should seek medical treatment in time.

What are the precautions for removing the IUD when having a second child?

1. Rest for 3 days and abstain from sex for 3-5 days after removing the IUD: Women of childbearing age who are having a second child should rest for 3 days after removing the IUD. Generally, they are prohibited from having sex and taking sitting baths within 3-5 days before removing the IUD to prevent infection.

2. Avoid infection: Some women may have a small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody leucorrhea after removing the IUD. Usually, it will disappear naturally after one or two days. This is a normal phenomenon. It is mainly caused by the stimulation of the endometrium and cervix by the IUD. If there is a lot of bleeding or the bleeding time is long after removing the IUD, you must see a doctor in time to avoid infection.

3. After removing the IUD, wait for menstruation to resume 2-3 times before getting pregnant again: Although the couple is eager to have a second child, it is not advisable to have a child immediately after removing the IUD. Women who have worn IUDs should wait for a period of time (2-3 normal menstrual cycles) before conceiving when planning to get pregnant, so as to give the endometrium time to recover and facilitate eugenics. This is mainly because the contraceptive ring placed in the uterine cavity can cause aseptic inflammatory response in the endometrium, proliferation of white blood cells and macrophages, changes in uterine fluid, which can destroy embryonic kinases and make fertilization difficult. The IUD is a foreign body inserted into the uterus, which can interfere with the implantation of the fertilized egg, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception. In addition, copper contraceptive rings can release copper, which is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg and also affects the development of the embryonic sac.

4. Remove the IUD six months before planning to get pregnant again: If you plan to get pregnant, it is best to remove the IUD 6 months to a year in advance. The IUD containing progestin can cause atrophy of the endometrium. Regardless of how long the IUD is placed, as a foreign body, it 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 and will cause defects in the newborn. The consequences are very bad.
