Removal of the IUD means removal of the contraceptive ring, and it is recommended that the IUD be removed at the age of 60 in order to avoid inflammation, bleeding and other problems caused by the presence of the IUD.
It is recommended that the IUD be removed about 1 year after menopause, as the uterus has not yet shrunk significantly, making it easier and less painful to remove the IUD.
If the IUD is removed too late at the age of 60, the IUD may be partially or completely embedded in the superficial muscle layer of the uterus, which not only makes it more difficult for the doctor to operate the IUD, but may also lead to the risk of bleeding and infection due to the embeddedness of the IUD.
After removing the IUD, it is recommended to rest for 1-3 days and avoid heavy physical labor. For 2 weeks after the operation, coitus and tub baths are prohibited to prevent the occurrence of infection.
Women who remove the IUD at the age of 60 are advised to go to a regular hospital, consult a professional doctor, cooperate with the doctor to complete the relevant laboratory tests, and actively deal with the situation.
