Failed IUD removal after menopause can be done under hysteroscopy to increase the chance of success.
After menopause, due to the decrease of ovarian function and the decrease of estrogen level in the body, the uterus will gradually shrink in size, which may cause ring embedding and failure of IUD removal, etc. Therefore, the IUD can be removed under the direct vision of hysteroscopy to increase the chances of success of IUD removal, and the procedure should be carefully operated to avoid uterine perforation and so on.
For women, the IUD is usually removed within 2 years after menopause, and the best time is within 6 to 12 months after menopause. The removal of the IUD may cause abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and other discomforts, and the symptoms can be gradually relieved within 1 week after the surgery.
For women who want to have the IUD removed, it is recommended that they go to the gynecology department of a regular hospital and have it done under the operation of a professional doctor, in order to increase the chances of a successful IUD removal and reduce the risk of perforation of the uterus and other risks.
