How often does the IUD need to be replaced

There are common contraceptive rings such as ordinary steel ring, Gini ring, progestin ring, etc. Different rings need to be replaced at different times. 1. Ordinary steel ring: If there is no displacement or unwanted pregnancy, the steel ring can be placed for 15-20 years, and it is recommended to take it out and replace it half a year after menopause if you do not feel uncomfortable. 2. Gynie ring: Gynie ring is usually a metal ring, it is recommended to replace it once every 10 years. Placing it for too long without replacing it may cause side effects, such as prolonged menstrual period, increased menstrual flow, and brown secretion before and after the onset of menstruation. 3. Progesterone ring: The replacement time for the progesterone ring is 5 years, if it is not taken out in time, it may lead to the disappearance of the hormone drug of the ring and the failure of contraception. If the ring is not removed in time, it may cause the hormone drug to disappear, resulting in contraceptive failure. If a woman who has had an IUD reaches the time limit for replacement, she should go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for replacement in order to avoid adverse reactions.
