When is the best time to remove the contraceptive ring?

The contraceptive ring is a very common method of contraception in my country. This method is not only effective, but also relatively low in cost, which is a huge advantage over traditional contraceptive methods. However, the contraceptive ring does not need to be worn all the time, because different contraceptive rings have different wearing times, and it is not necessary for women to wear it after menopause, so you should pay attention to choosing the time to remove the contraceptive ring. So, when is the best time to remove the contraceptive ring?

Generally speaking, as long as the IUD removal surgery is done during the menstrual period, it can be removed 5 days after the menstruation is over. Although IUD removal is a minor operation, it should still be taken seriously and its precautions should be paid attention to, so that the IUD removal surgery is safe and painless, and there are no infectious complications after the operation. At the same time, a health test must be done before the IUD removal surgery to ensure that there are no other inflammatory conditions.

It should also be pointed out that if the inserted ring has reached the prescribed period, you should go to the hospital in time to remove the ring 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 7-10 years, and copper sleeve T-rings can be stored for 10-15 years. A new ring can be put in while removing the ring. If there are adverse reactions such as irregular vaginal bleeding or continued heavy menstrual flow after the IUD is placed, which affect your health, the IUD should be removed promptly if drug treatment is ineffective.

If there are significant changes in the menstrual cycle during menopause, such as the cycle becoming longer or menopause lasting more than 6 months, the ring should be removed promptly. If the IUD is removed too late, it will be more difficult for the doctor to remove it due to uterine shrinkage. It is advisable for menopausal women to remove the IUD six months to one year after menopause, because although the estrogen level has dropped at this time, the uterus has not yet shrunk significantly. Not only is the IUD removal process simple, but it is also less painful. Menopausal women should never ignore the importance of timely removal of IUDs for fear of trouble, which will lead to a lot of avoidable pain.

If you have missed the best time to remove the IUD, you need to do local care after removing it. Please note that you are not suitable for sexual life within 14 days after removing the IUD. It is also best not to take a bath in a tub to avoid vaginal infection and vaginal inflammation. Only in this way can you ensure your health.
