What preparations should be made before the ring

The editor has sorted out the preparations that need to be done before inserting the contraceptive ring, hoping that it will be helpful to everyone. It is not possible to insert an IUD at all times. Before inserting the IUD, you must know the best time to do so to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.

1. The IUD is inserted after the pregnant woman gives birth. Situation 1: The IUD is inserted immediately after the pregnant woman gives birth. At this time, surgical insertion is effective and contraceptive methods can be implemented immediately, but it must be inserted after examination and approval by a gynecologist. Situation 2: The pregnant woman does not choose to have the IUD inserted immediately after giving birth. Pregnant women who give birth at full term can have the IUD inserted three months after giving birth. But if the woman is still breastfeeding, it is best to wait until after weaning to get an IUD. Because during the period of breastfeeding, the uterus cannot return to its normal size, so the doctor can choose the appropriate ring size. Of course, you can have an IUD inserted during breastfeeding, but I do not recommend it.

If a woman chooses a cesarean section, she can only have an IUD inserted half a year later. However, for women who have undergone abortion, the golden time for IUD insertion is after menstruation. 2. After menstruation is restored after childbirth. The best time to insert the IUD is 3-7 days after the menstrual period is over, because the uterine wall is relatively thin at this time and is not prone to bleeding. Placed when menstruation is not over. It is placed on the 3rd to 5th day of menarche. There are three benefits during this period: first, the cervix is ​​loose and easy to insert. Secondly, the menstrual period has just arrived, so pregnancy can be ruled out and it is not easy to mistakenly put the ring into the uterus of a pregnant woman. Third, it prevents women from having to worry and feel troubled by bleeding after having the IUD inserted.

2. Prepare in advance for cleaning and hygiene 1. Sexual intercourse between husband and wife. You cannot have sexual intercourse within one week before inserting the IUD. 2. Clean and hygienic. Pay attention to environmental hygiene to prevent infection. Before the IUD is inserted, the private area of ​​the vulva should be cleaned every day to keep it clean. Take a shower and change into loose clothes before going to the hospital. If you choose to have a painless IUD inserted, you should also avoid eating or drinking before the operation. 3. Pay attention to supplementing nutrients. Before the ring is inserted, you should pay attention to a healthy diet and increase nutrition appropriately, especially eat more foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, liver, tripe, eggs and other foods. You can also eat more legumes and increase the intake of vegetables and fruits. 4. Take adequate rest and avoid heavy physical work. Generally, you should rest for 1 day before inserting the ring.

3. Inspection and preparation Before inserting the IUD, some necessary inspections should be done. Routine gynecological examination: This is because if gynecological inflammation is more serious, it will aggravate the condition and cause abdominal pain, fever, and elevated white blood cell count. Therefore, before inserting an IUD, a routine gynecological leucorrhea examination and pelvic examination are required to eliminate reproductive infections before the IUD can be inserted. Before inserting an IUD, you need to do a B-ultrasound to check the state of uterine repair and the position of the uterus. The doctor can then choose which IUD to insert based on your physical condition. You should also do a routine examination of your leucorrhea: by checking the secretions, you can see whether you have gynecological inflammation, and check for certain symptoms such as acute pelvic inflammatory disease, acute vaginitis, moderate to severe cervical erosion, excessive menstruation or non-menstrual bleeding, uterine fibroids, a narrow cervical opening, etc. If you have gynecological inflammation, you need to get treated before you can insert an IUD.
