Suggest Treatment For NuvaRing Stuck In Fallopian Tube

Hi, My mom just received confirmation that a NuvaRing, which was used 5 years ago to treat blood clotting after her hysterectomy, is now stuck in her fallopian tubes. In other words, it s been stuck inside her for 5 years. What kind of treatments/surgeries are involved in removing it, and what are the risks? Thanks.

Pediatrician, Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK's Response

Hi,

Usually this can be removed endoscopically through hysteroscopy, without any surgery. Hysteroscopy is a very commonly done minor procedure without significant complications. Usually done on an outpatient basis but may need a short stay of 2-3 days. Your doctor will discuss you in detail.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
