Patient's question:
Please ask the expert: My menstruation has been going on for over 10 days. Should I have the intrauterine device removed now or wait until after the next menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
At this point, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for treatment. You can have the ring reinserted, which is a better option. The best time to remove the ring is 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends, as this can reduce bleeding. Rest for 1 day after the ring is removed, and avoid sexual activity and soaking in a hot tub for 2 weeks to prevent infection.
