What are the precautions after removing the IUD during menopause?

It is a very wise choice for women of childbearing age to wear an IUD, because the IUD can be used for a long time after one installation, and the impact on the female body is almost negligible. Moreover, the use period of more than 10 years makes women very worry-free and they don’t have to worry about unexpected pregnancy. Most women who have exceeded the expiration date have entered menopause, and some issues need to be paid attention to when removing the IUD at this time. Let’s take a look at what are the precautions after removing the IUD during menopause?

1. Before removing the ring, you should first undergo an X-ray fluoroscopy or "B" type ultrasound examination. For the ring with a tail thread, ask the doctor to dilate the vaginal opening to see if there is any nylon thread outside the uterine opening to confirm that the ring is in the uterine cavity before removing the ring.

2. Remove the intrauterine contraceptive device 3-7 days after the menstruation is over. The intrauterine contraceptive device with a tail thread can be removed at any time.

3. Sexual intercourse and bathing are prohibited 3 days before the operation to prevent infection.

4. Take a bath (shower) the day before the operation, wash the vulva on the day of the operation, and bring sanitary napkins and other necessary items.

5. Come to the hospital on an empty stomach on the same day.
