Doctor's answer:

The effectiveness period of an intrauterine device (IUD) generally varies: metal rings can last up to 20 years, silicone rubber V-shaped rings can last 7-10 years, and copper-coated T-shaped rings can last 10-15 years. If necessary, a new ring can be inserted at the same time as removal. The ideal time for removal is 3-7 days after the menstrual period has ended.
