Patient's question:
I have been using a ring since I was 30, which was to prevent an accidental pregnancy. Now I have been in menopause for three years and want to remove the ring. My friends say that the risk of removing the ring is relatively high, and it may lead to various inflammatory conditions, so they advised me to keep wearing it. I don't want to leave it to the grave. I would like to ask what are the risks of removing the ring three years after menopause?Doctor's answer:
The risk of removing an IUD is very small, and there is no need to worry excessively. If you have already decided, you can go to the hospital to have it removed. Adjust your mindset and have a correct understanding. After removing the IUD, there is a possibility of a small amount of vaginal bleeding. Avoid sexual activity for at least one week. Do not eat stimulating, spicy, or overly greasy foods. At this age, it is also appropriate to supplement with B vitamins and calcium preparations.
