There are several types of IUDs

Contraceptive rings are divided into stainless steel rings, plastic rings, silicone rings, and copper rings based on materials. In addition, estrogen or metal copper can be added to the contraceptive ring to improve the effectiveness of contraception. In terms of shape, there are ring-shaped, T-shaped, V-shaped, Y-shaped and chain-shaped contraceptive rings. Contraceptive rings of different materials and shapes have their own characteristics, so they are also suitable for pregnant women with different physical fitness. No matter what kind of contraceptive ring it is, its effectiveness is local and will not affect pregnancy after removal. Generally, you can consider pregnancy three months after removing the contraceptive ring.

Contraceptive measures are very common in daily life. Because this allows everyone to have their own baby at the right time. You can plan your time more effectively, but many people don't know much about these aspects, so knowing more about these aspects can help you better. So what are the common types of contraceptive rings?

What are the common types of contraceptive rings?

1. Inert contraceptive ring, which is made of inert raw materials, such as stainless steel, plastic polyester and silicone. They do not release any active substances themselves. For example, single ring made of metal, peach ring, mixed ring, contraceptive surgical flower, uterine ring, Ota ring, and ring-shaped contraceptive ring. Because the actual contraceptive effect of inert contraceptive rings is relatively poor, countries around the world have gradually replaced them with specific contraceptive rings.

2. Specific contraceptive ring refers to a new generation of intrauterine contraceptive ring that uses a contraceptive ring as a vector carrier and contains metal materials such as copper or zinc. After being inserted into the uterine cavity, the body can slowly release active substances, thereby improving the effectiveness of contraceptive measures and reducing side effects.

3. The contraceptive ring that releases hemostatic drugs can effectively control the increase in menstrual volume after the placement of the contraceptive ring. Therefore, choosing this type of contraceptive ring can effectively prevent the increase in menstrual volume after the installation of the contraceptive ring, and can also effectively prevent the bleeding from causing some troubles to your body.

4. The principle of the contraceptive ring that releases estrogen is to release the estrogen contained in the contraceptive ring slowly and steadily into the uterus, thereby improving the effectiveness of contraception and significantly reducing bleeding. Therefore, this type of contraceptive ring is currently a more popular contraceptive method.

What are the common problems with IUDs?

1. First of all, you need to pay attention to what situations are not suitable for ring placement.

Acute pelvic inflammatory disease, acute vaginitis, moderate to severe cervical erosion, menorrhagia or non-menstrual bleeding, uterine fibroids, and a narrow cervical opening. Women with serious systemic diseases are not suitable for IUD insertion, otherwise it will cause increased inflammation, increased menstrual flow, etc.

2. Another thing is to understand the issues that should be paid attention to before, after, and left and right of the release ring.

Although the operation of ring insertion is simple and safe, it is ultimately a surgical operation. In order to prevent infection, couples should refrain from sexual intercourse 3 days before the operation and half a month after the operation, pay attention to vaginal hygiene, and do not take a sitz bath after the ring is placed to avoid intrauterine infection. You should rest for 1 to 2 days after the operation. You don't need to do heavy physical work or high-intensity exercise within a week. Since the cervix will be too loose right after the ring is inserted, the ring may fall off easily.

3. Pay attention to check whether the contraceptive ring falls off on a regular basis. For women with loose cervix and heavy menstrual flow, the contraceptive ring may fall out during menstruation, so when urinating during menstruation, you should pay attention to whether the ring falls out with the blood. Generally, in the first month after the IUD is placed, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination after your menstrual period ends, and then have another follow-up visit three months later.
