Merina removal

2020-08-04 14:16:55
Merina was inserted in my mother in law in 2014 due to heavy bleeding. Is it mandatory to get it removed or replaced now after 6 years else what should be done. After what time should we consider it to get removed. Is there any expiry period also. Thanks in advance.
