Which is better, a subcutaneous implant or an IUD?

With the continuous development of social science and technology, there are more and more contraceptive methods. In the past, contraceptive measures were limited to sterilization, IUDs, and condoms for emergency contraception. In recent years, subcutaneous contraceptive implants have also emerged. Many people may not know much about subcutaneous implantation. So, which one is better, the subcutaneous implant or the IUD? Let's take a look at it together.

1. Which is better, subcutaneous implant or IUD?

The subcutaneous implant contraceptive method has the following advantages: 1. The contraceptive effect is very good, and the contraceptive efficiency is over 99%. 2. The contraceptive measure is effective for a long time, and one implant can provide contraceptive measures for 5 years. 3. The drug reaction is small. This type of contraceptive contains only estrogen and no female hormone, so the side effects are smaller than birth control pills. 4. It is reversible and the reproductive function can be quickly restored after the silicone tube is removed.

The main advantages of the IUD are: 1. The operation is simple and has few side effects. Some early symptoms may include low back pain, lower abdominal discomfort, excessive vaginal discharge, prolonged menstruation, and increased menstrual volume, but these symptoms will disappear on their own over time. 2. The actual effect is reliable and the success rate of contraceptive measures is high. 3. The contraceptive measure lasts for a long time, and the metal ring can generally be placed for 10-15 years. 4. When you want to get pregnant, just take it off. 5. No impact on the couple’s life.

The contraceptive ring has the following disadvantages: 1. The main disadvantage of the contraceptive ring is that it can cause pregnancy due to ring falling off or pregnancy with the ring. 2. The contraceptive ring can only prevent normal pregnancy in the uterine cavity, but cannot prevent abnormal pregnancy outside the uterus (ie ectopic pregnancy). Therefore, it can cause ectopic pregnancy in a small number of women who use contraceptive rings. 3. A very small number of women may experience some side effects after having the IUD inserted, such as vaginal bleeding, menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation, etc. In this case, the IUD must be removed and replaced with other contraceptive measures due to ineffective treatment. You can choose the appropriate contraceptive surgery strategy according to your own situation.

2. Do subcutaneous contraceptive implants have side effects?

In clinical medicine, subcutaneous contraceptive implants are used to implant a silicone rubber tube containing estrogen into the subcutaneous tissue, so that the estrogen can be released continuously in small amounts, thus achieving contraceptive effects. Its main side effect is menstrual disorder, which is characterized by prolonged and continuous menstruation, but usually very little bleeding. Some patients experience decreased menstrual periods or even amenorrhea. In addition, some patients may also experience migraines, mental changes, acne, etc., but the incidence rate is not high. It is recommended that women who have not made a good pregnancy plan should take active contraceptive measures when having sex, among which the use of condoms is less harmful to the body.

Subcutaneous needle implantation often causes a series of side effects. This is because a large amount of hormone is implanted in the subcutaneous tissue. On the one hand, this hormone will inhibit ovulation and thus achieve the actual effect of contraception, and on the other hand, it will cause many side effects in women.
