Timing of IUD removal for menopausal patients

  In the clinic, we always encounter patients who have been menopausal for several years to remove the IUD, which makes people worried and anxious, because the uterus has been atrophied for one year after menopause, and the IUD may be wrapped in the uterus, which is not only difficult for the doctor to operate, but also easy to cause damage to the patient’s uterus. Yesterday, a 65-year-old woman came to consult the issue of IUD removal, this kind of menopause for more than ten years, we simply do not dare to take, because her heart load is reduced, blood pressure may not be stable, the uterus has shrunk to very small, very small, the cervical elasticity is also very poor, who do not dare to risk, unless she is hospitalized, eat a period of estrogen, you can try to remove the IUD, otherwise … … … So, it is recommended that the majority of women wearing birth control devices, must be removed before the ring expires, the general life of the birth control device is 10-15 years, the special ring also has about 5 years, the doctor will certainly tell you when the ring, must take the doctor’s words to heart, can not be on the ring regardless of the future removal of things. Because the ring expired, it will cause the tail filament to fall off, ring deformation, embedded, fracture and other possible, not to mention the difficulty to take out, and also bring pain to the patient.  For patients near menopause, be sure to take out the ring in time for menstruation, the time to take out the ring is 3 – 7 days after menstruation, no history of joint room, do not wait until after menopause to remember that there is a foreign body in the uterus, only to remember to take it out. Waiting for menopause to take the patient will add unnecessary pain.
