Effects of IUD insertion on the body

Speaking of IUDs, I believe most female friends know about it, and many mothers have already had them inserted. The so-called IUD is actually set up to ensure the health of women and prevent accidental pregnancy. Strictly speaking, the IUD is actually a contraceptive device. So, what effects does IUD insertion have on women’s bodies? This is also an issue that many women are concerned about. After all, it is closely related to their daily lives.

Once women get married and have children, when they reach a certain age, the government begins urging them to get an IUD. On the one hand, this is to respond to national policies, and on the other hand, it is to protect the bodies of our female friends from unnecessary harm. So, in response to this situation, let’s talk about the effects of IUD insertion on the body.

Its main advantages are:

1. The operation is simple, non-traumatic, and has few side effects. Some initial symptoms may include low back pain, lower abdominal discomfort, increased leucorrhea, prolonged menstrual period, and increased menstrual volume, but these symptoms will disappear on their own over time.

2. The effect is reliable and the contraceptive success rate is high.

3. The contraceptive duration is long. The metal ring can generally be placed for 10-15 years. The plastic ring has poor elasticity, small supporting force, and is easy to deform and fall off, so it can also be placed for about five years.

4. When you need to have a baby, take it out and you will get what you want soon.

5. It has no impact on sexual life and is harmless to the body.

When is the best time to get an IUD inserted?

Healthy women who are not pregnant can use the IUD at any time except during menstruation, but the following times are the most suitable:

1. 3 to 7 days after menstruation ends. Because this period is a safe period, the endometrium has just begun to form and the possibility of pregnancy is small; therefore, it is possible to avoid having an IUD inserted during pregnancy, which may cause uterine bleeding or miscarriage.

2. Have an IUD inserted at the same time as an artificial abortion. At this time, it is easy to loosen the cervix and insert the ring, and two operations can be avoided.

3. After a miscarriage, if you have had your period once, or three months after a full-term birth, or more than six months after a caesarean section, you can have an IUD inserted.

4. If there are no symptoms when the intrauterine contraceptive device expires, you can replace it with a new one at the same time to avoid two operations.

Things to note after getting the ring

After surgery, patients should pay attention to:

1. Get adequate rest. A small amount of vaginal bleeding and increased leucorrhea may occur in the first three days, but they will disappear on their own and do not require any treatment.

2. Keep the vulva clean after the operation. Avoid sexual intercourse and sitting baths within two weeks to avoid infection.

3. Regular follow-up is required, with a review one month, six months, and one year after the operation, and then once a year thereafter to check for shedding or dislocation.

There are many effects of IUD insertion on women. If you are not careful, you may experience vaginal bleeding and increased leucorrhea after the insertion. In addition, it may also cause genital infection, etc. However, these situations can be prevented as long as you pay attention to rest and hygiene. In addition, IUD insertion also has many benefits for the female body, which have been introduced in detail in the above article. You will know the benefits if you read it carefully.
