How to prevent pregnancy after removing the IUD

Women who have installed contraceptive rings must remove them. If they do not remove them, many problems will occur. Removing the ring can effectively prevent pregnancy, but once the ring is removed, we should still take some other ways to prevent pregnancy. However, many people do not know its specific contraceptive methods, or have never understood them. So how to prevent pregnancy after removing the ring?

Although IUDs are very effective in preventing pregnancy, they also have many side effects. After removing the IUD, you can use condoms, which is relatively safer. The contraceptive effect during the safe period is very poor, and taking birth control pills has serious side effects, and you have to wait 6 months after stopping the medication to get pregnant in the future.

With the arrival of menopause, the estrogen secretion of the ovaries decreases rapidly, and the uterus gradually shrinks. After menopause, the uterine cavity becomes smaller and smaller, and the uterine muscles become thinner and thinner. Over time, the ring will be partially or completely embedded in the superficial muscle layer of the uterus, making it difficult to remove the ring. If there are blood vessels where the ring is inserted, bleeding will occur. If the ring is embedded too deeply, or even penetrates the thin uterine wall and enters the abdominal cavity, a series of complications may occur, so it is very important to remove the ring in time. The ring must be removed in the following situations:

(1) If the IUD has reached the prescribed period, you should go to the hospital to have it 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 7-10 years, and copper sleeve T-rings can be stored for 10-15 years. A new ring can be put in while removing the ring.

(2) If there are adverse reactions such as irregular vaginal bleeding or persistent heavy menstrual flow after the IUD is placed, which affect your health, the IUD should be removed promptly if drug treatment is ineffective.
