Many female friends who have had an IUD inserted will have such questions when removing it. Generally, an ultrasound examination is required before removing the IUD. If the ultrasound examination finds that the IUD is not incarcerated. Then, removing the IUD will not cause too much pain and it is bearable. If you are very afraid of pain, you can also use painless IUD removal, which mainly involves intravenous anesthesia and will not cause any pain. Moreover, under normal circumstances, removing the IUD is not very painful and is completely tolerable.

Different contraceptive rings have different usage periods, ranging from three to eight years. Generally about five years. The medical records of the IUD should be kept well. Remove or replace the ring on time according to the doctor's instructions. It is easiest to get pregnant when removing or changing the IUD, so other contraceptive methods should be used at the same time.

Insertion and removal of the IUD is simple. First, the doctor will disinfect the device, then use the "ring delivery device" to send the IUD into the uterus, remove the "ring delivery device" and shorten the nylon thread tied to the IUD to complete the placement. When removing the ring, just gently pull the nylon string at the tail of the ring or use a "ring remover" to pull the ring out of the uterus. Insertion and removal of the IUD usually cause only mild lower abdominal pain.

Routine check-up should be performed after the first menstrual period after wearing. If there are no special problems, a routine inspection can be carried out once a year. After a woman wears the IUD, her initial menstrual period may be extended by two to three days, and her menstrual flow may also be slightly heavier. Some women experience abdominal discomfort or menstrual pain. This is an initial maladaptive reaction. However, some women may experience a significant increase in menstrual flow, a small amount of bleeding outside of their period, and obvious abdominal pain. If these symptoms persist, they should return to the hospital for examination.

The precautions for taking the IUD are as follows:

1. Before removing the ring, you should first undergo an X-ray fluoroscopy or B-type ultrasound examination. For the ring with a tail thread, ask the doctor to dilate the vaginal opening to see if there is any nylon thread outside the uterine opening to confirm that the ring is in the uterine cavity before removing the ring.

2. After the removal of the IUD, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding or bloody leucorrhea, which will disappear naturally in one or two days. 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.

3. The best time to remove the IUD is within 3-7 days after the menstruation ends, which can reduce bleeding. The precautions before removing the IUD are very important, and all women must pay attention to them. Rest for 1 day after removing the IUD. Do not have sexual intercourse or take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks to prevent infection.

If you are a menopausal woman, the IUD should be removed within six months to one year after menopause. In addition, many women feel that removing an IUD requires surgery, which is not only troublesome but also painful. Because the IUD can easily penetrate into the abdominal cavity in the uterus and cause adverse reactions. The cause of menopause is the gradual atrophy of the ovaries, decreased ovulation, and eventually cessation of ovulation. The uterus loses the stimulation of estrogen secreted by the ovaries and gradually shrinks. The weight of the uterus and the volume of the uterine cavity also decrease, but the IUD does not shrink, so it is easy for it to penetrate, causing abdominal pain, or even penetrate out of the uterus, stimulating the abdominal cavity and producing adverse reactions. The IUD acts as a foreign body in the uterus and can easily damage the surface layer of the endometrium after menopause, leading to nonspecific inflammation of the endometrium. It can also accelerate the atrophy of endometrial glands and accelerate uterine degeneration. Therefore, experts believe that it is most appropriate for menopausal women to remove the IUD six months to one year after menopause.
