What are the harms of wearing a ring to women

At present, there are various contraceptive methods for many men and women. Condoms, emergency contraception, and the rings that are currently being vigorously developed are all our common contraceptive methods. Condoms and emergency contraception are the contraceptive methods we are more familiar with, so what harm does wearing an IUD do to women? What are the common problems with band rings? During the Little New Year, let’s discuss the issue of women wearing IUDs.

What harm does wearing an IUD do to women?

1. Infection: Inserting an IUD can cause infection. When inserting an IUD, the doctor will strictly disinfect the woman's private parts, vagina, and uterine wall, and infection rarely occurs.

2. Bleeding: Most women will have bleeding 3-4 days after the IUD is inserted, which can well stimulate the uterus to contract, and can also quickly scratch the cervix, endometrium or uterine wall and cause bleeding.

3. Lower abdominal distension or back pain: A small number of women also have this feeling after the insertion of the IUD. This is caused by uterine contractions after the insertion of the IUD. Sometimes it can also be caused by the IUD being too large or moving to the lower part of the uterus.

4. Excessive leucorrhea: If a contraceptive ring containing a tail thread is installed, it can also cause a significant increase in cervical secretions, that is, excessive leucorrhea.

5. Increased menstrual flow: In the early stage of IUD insertion, especially in the first three months, women may experience prolonged menstruation or irregular spotting.

Things you need to know about getting an IUD

1. Take a proper rest. After the ring is put in place, the cervix is ​​relatively loose and the ring is easy to fall off. Therefore, you should rest for two days after the ring is put in. It is not suitable for physical labor or participation in high-intensity activities within a week.

2. Maintain hygiene. IUD placement is a surgical procedure. In order to prevent infection, keep the vulva clean after the operation, wash the lower body with warm water and change underwear every night.

3. Pay attention and observe. There may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and mild lower abdominal discomfort within a few days after the ring is placed (mainly in the first three days), which will generally disappear on their own and do not require treatment. If the bleeding is heavy or lasts for more than a week, especially if you have abdominal pain or fever, go to the hospital immediately.

4. To prevent the ring from falling out, within 3 months after insertion, especially for some women with loose cervix and heavy menstrual flow, the contraceptive ring may fall out with the menstrual discharge during the menstrual period.

5. Regular follow-up. The follow-up time is generally in the first month after the IUD insertion surgery. Go to the hospital for a physical examination after the menstrual period is over.

6. Be careful of hidden pregnancy. IUDs are not 100% effective as contraceptives. Some women may get pregnant with an IUD.

I believe that through the above introduction, we have a certain grasp of the methods of female contraceptive rings and a deep understanding of the possible disadvantages. Therefore, I hope that many women will choose their own contraceptive methods scientifically, and not choose the wrong contraceptive method due to their lack of understanding, which will leave regrets and cause serious consequences to the body.
