For contraception, married women often adopt the method of wearing contraceptive rings. The contraceptive ring is simple, convenient, and effective in preventing pregnancy. After menopause, it is necessary to remove the intrauterine device (IUD). If the IUD is not removed, it will be embedded in the flesh, which can affect health. How long does it take for a woman to have an IUD removed after menopause?
Women can have their intrauterine device (IUD) removed six months or a year after menopause, because although estrogen levels may decrease at this time, the uterus has not completely atrophied. If the IUD is removed at this time, the procedure will be simpler and there will be no obvious pain.
Women must remove the intrauterine device (IUD) after menopause, and do not neglect the procedure. If the IUD is not removed in a timely manner, waiting until the uterus has atrophied before removing it can cause the IUD to penetrate the uterus. And it can also easily lead to ring entrapment, causing unbearable abdominal pain in women, so it must be removed in a timely manner.
After removing the IUD, it is important to rest appropriately, avoid heavy physical labor, avoid vigorous exercise to prevent bleeding, and pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia. It is not advisable to take a bath within 2 weeks or have sexual intercourse within 1 month to avoid infection. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to nutritional supplementation. Removing the IUD will consume physical energy, so it is necessary to supplement nutrition. After removing the ring, pay attention to observing the vaginal bleeding. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is greater than menstruation and the bleeding time is longer, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination.
