When is the best time to remove the ring? How to get it?

The contraceptive ring is a major invention of modern medicine and an effective way for humans to control population growth. The contraceptive ring is usually installed on the fallopian tube or uterus of women of childbearing age to hinder the passage of sperm, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception. However, contraceptive rings have a limited shelf life and must be removed after the expiration date. So, when is the best time to remove the ring? How to get it?

IUD removal means that when the ring inserted into the uterus has reached the prescribed age, you need to go to the hospital to remove it in time to prevent the ring from deforming or becoming ineffective in the uterus. An X-ray fluoroscopy or "B" type ultrasound examination should be performed before removing the ring.

The function of the contraceptive ring is to prevent pregnancy during the reproductive period. After entering menopause (45 years old), the probability of pregnancy is almost zero, and the side effects of the ring are obvious, so the ring should be removed in time.

1. If the inserted ring has reached the prescribed period, you should go to the hospital to remove the ring in time to avoid deformation or failure of the ring 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 put in while removing the ring.

2. Before removing the ring, you should first undergo an X-ray fluoroscopy or "B" type ultrasound examination. For a 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 it. The best time to remove the ring is within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over, which can reduce bleeding.

3. Come to the hospital to remove the IUD within 3 to 5 days after your period ends (no sexual intercourse).

4. Take appropriate amount of anti-infection and hemostatic drugs after removing the IUD.

5. If there are obvious changes in the menstrual cycle during menopause, such as the cycle becomes longer or menopause lasts for more than 6 months, the ring should be removed in time.
