When is the best time to remove an IUD after menopause?

It is better to remove the intrauterine device (IUD) about six months to one year after menopause. After menopause, the uterus gradually atrophies; if the IUD is not removed, it may become embedded in the uterine wall, leading to complications such as abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal bleeding. If removal is attempted one or two years before menopause, menstrual cycles may already be irregular, occurring every few months. Removing the IUD just two months after menopause might result in prolonged menstruation or even unintended pregnancy. Before IUD removal, it's important to have a thorough consultation with a professional gynecologist and undergo examinations such as complete blood count and vaginal discharge tests. Stay relaxed and maintain a calm mindset before the procedure, and actively cooperate during IUD removal.
