How long does it take to remove the ring after menopause

Women should remove the IUD after menopause, especially since the IUD is placed for a certain time period. The IUD can be removed six months to a year after menopause to avoid affecting health. If it is not removed during this period, it will increase the difficulty of removal later, and may even cause some complications. It can also easily lead to uterine atrophy, which is a relatively large hazard to women's health.

It is better to remove the IUD within six months to one year after menopause, because women do not need contraception after menopause. In addition, as the years after menopause increase, the uterus shrinks, which not only makes it more difficult to remove the IUD, but also may cause the IUD to become lodged in the abdominal cavity and cause other complications.

If the IUD is removed too early, it will cause the woman's endocrine system to be unstable. During the period just after menopause, the ovaries may still ovulate, and the possibility of pregnancy again cannot be ruled out. If the IUD is removed too late, the woman will have been in menopause for a long time, the estrogen level in the body will decrease, and the uterus will shrink, making it more difficult to remove the IUD.

After menopause, women's ovarian function declines, the uterus becomes smaller, and the uterine muscles become thinner and more brittle, but the size of the IUD remains unchanged. Over time, the IUD will slowly embed into the uterine wall, or even squeeze into the pelvic or abdominal cavity, affecting women's health.

For various reasons, menopausal women do not remove the IUD in time. When the menopause time is long and the estrogen level in the body is low, the uterus has shrunk, the cervix becomes relatively longer, and the tissue elasticity becomes poor, making it difficult to remove the IUD. Some people still find it difficult to remove the IUD despite supplementing with a small dose of estrogen, and the IUD needs to be removed under B-ultrasound or hysteroscopy. For some people, the IUD is embedded in the base of the uterus, which not only makes it difficult to remove the IUD, but also causes complications such as excessive bleeding, obvious pain, and even uterine perforation.
