The contraceptive ring has a longer lifespan, but once it reaches its expiration date, it should be removed promptly. Like painless abortion, painless removal of the intrauterine device (IUD) is now an option, which involves administering anesthesia to the patient during the procedure to prevent any pain. So, does it need to be painless to remove the ring?
Whether painless removal of the ring is necessary depends on the specific situation. Under normal circumstances, painless ring removal is not necessary. Usually, the time for IUD removal surgery is very short, only about ten minutes in total, and the patient does not feel much pain, so female friends do not need to choose painless IUD removal.
Before removing the contraceptive ring, relevant examinations such as B-ultrasound should be performed to determine its position. If a contraceptive ring is found to be embedded in the endometrium during ultrasound examination, painless removal of the ring should be chosen. Because this situation can cause significant damage to the endometrium during the removal of the intrauterine device, there may be pain.
Women should undergo regular check ups when using contraceptive rings. And within six months after menopause, the contraceptive ring should be removed in a timely manner. Because once a woman reaches menopause, hormones in her body decrease, leading to uterine atrophy. If there is a contraceptive ring in the uterine cavity, it is prone to entrapment. This not only causes some adverse symptoms such as abdominal pain, bleeding, etc., but also increases the difficulty and harmfulness of removing the ring.
