IUD downshift

Due to family planning or family reasons, most families do not want to have children after two or three children. Common effective contraceptive methods are female IUDs or male sterilization. The contraceptive ring is safely inserted into the female uterus and causes very little interference to the female body. It is a relatively safe method of contraception and comes in multiple styles and different types. But what if the IUD moves downward?

Depending on the purpose, the time the IUD is installed in a woman's body can vary, and some can even last up to ten years. Women should choose the IUD correctly, because the shape of the uterus of different women is different. IUDs have multiple shapes. The original ones were ring-shaped, and later developed into various shapes, and the more common one is T-shaped.

The scientific name of the "IUD" is intrauterine device, which is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity. So, what should we do if the IUD moves downward? Many women have such concerns. Experts say that it is normal for the IUD to move downward, and most women who have had an IUD inserted will experience this phenomenon.

IUD downshift

The IUD is placed in the uterine cavity, not fixed on the uterine wall. Therefore, normal uterine contractions, flushing of menstrual blood, and the weight of the IUD itself may cause the IUD to move downward. In severe cases, it may be expelled from the body through the cervical canal, which is called "ring shedding."

If the IUD moves downward, the ring is withdrawn from the entire uterine cavity to the lower end of the uterine cavity. The upper and middle areas of the uterine cavity left empty after the ring is withdrawn are the traditional places for the fertilized egg to implant. Therefore, the downward movement of the IUD can easily lead to "pregnancy with the IUD". If the ring moves downward or falls off, the wearer usually does not feel it and it is difficult to detect. After the ring is inserted, a gynecological examination is needed to determine whether the ring is in the normal position.

Gynecological examination can be done through B-ultrasound to understand the situation of the ring in the uterine cavity. The previous method of peritoneal dialysis ring placement had poor accuracy, and regular B-ultrasound follow-up is the only important measure to ensure the contraceptive effectiveness of the intrauterine device. I hope those who have IUDs will not be careless to avoid unexpected pregnancy after having the IUD.

Experts emphasize: If you find that the IUD has moved down, it needs to be removed in time and replaced. However, to remove or insert an IUD, you must go to a regular gynecological hospital. Both IUD insertion and removal require uterine cavity operations, and the slightest negligence may lead to gynecological inflammation infection.

In daily life, contraceptive rings are popular among women because they are easy to use and do not harm women's health. The downward migration of the IUD is a very common phenomenon. There are many reasons for this. If a woman experiences downward migration of the IUD, she must go to a regular gynecological hospital for examination as soon as possible. Women need to pay attention to private hygiene after installing a contraceptive ring to avoid bacterial infection.
