Paragard must be removed no later than 10 years after placement, but may be removed at any time prior to this. A new Paragard can be placed at the time of removal if continued contraceptive protection is desired. To remove Paragard, begin by visualizing the cervix using a speculum. Remove Paragard with forceps, pulling gently on the exposed threads. The arms of Paragard will fold upwards as it is withdrawn from the uterus. Once removed, make sure Paragard is intact. Breakage or embedment of Paragard in the myometrium can make removal difficult. Analgesia, paracervical anesthesia, cervical dilation, a grasping instrument like alligator forceps, or hysteroscopy may assist in removing an embedded Paragard. Removal of Paragard may be associated with some pain, bleeding, or vasovagal reactions like syncope, bradycardia, and seizures, especially in patients with a predisposition to these conditions.
