What method of contraception is more suitable for a 44-year-old woman?

Patient's question:

Age
Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: I had an intrauterine device (IUD) placed 10 years ago, which was very effective. However, since the IUD's validity period is 10 years, it expired last year and was removed. Can it be placed again now? (I am allergic to latex and cannot use condoms). Thank you.
Medical history: None
Current general condition: Normal menstruation, healthy body

Doctor's answer:

??????It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, women who have not been pregnant are not recommended to use physical contraception [sterilization, IUD insertion]. Women who do not need to have children can undergo sterilization surgery or have an IUD inserted. If you have given birth and still want to have children, you can choose to have an IUD inserted! [It is recommended that a couple have only one child]. The advantages are self-evident, but the disadvantages are that some people may experience the IUD falling out or discomfort after insertion!
