If women need contraception, they should choose contraceptive methods carefully. Generally, after giving birth to a baby, women tend to choose to use contraceptive rings. Generally speaking, contraceptive rings have a long lifespan, but they should be removed as soon as possible after menopause and when the contraceptive ring reaches its expiration date. So, how long does it take to remove the ring?
Female ring removal is a very small gynecological surgery. If it goes smoothly, the entire process of ring removal only takes about fifteen minutes and does not cause any harm. However, if some situations occur during the ring removal process, the surgery time will be extended.
Some women, after menopause, fail to remove their contraceptive rings in a timely manner, which can easily cause the rings to become trapped in the endometrium. If the ring is removed at this time, it will be more complicated, not only requiring longer time, but also damaging the endometrium. Therefore, postmenopausal women should promptly remove their contraceptive rings.
Before undergoing an intrauterine device (IUD) removal surgery, women need to undergo relevant examinations, such as ultrasound, to determine the position of the contraceptive ring. And everyone also needs to undergo gynecological examination. If gynecological inflammation is found during the examination, the removal of the intrauterine device cannot be performed. Because removing an intrauterine device (IUD) requires a uterine cavity procedure, if the device is removed when a woman has gynecological inflammation, it may lead to the spread of inflammation. Therefore, gynecological inflammation should be treated first.
