Which contraceptive ring is best?

It needs to be decided based on your actual situation. There are many types of contraceptive rings at present, but they are roughly divided into: inert contraceptive rings or non-specific contraceptive rings and specific contraceptive rings. As for which one is better, you need to understand it through the following. There is no specific contraceptive ring and it is a first generation product. Most of them are made of stainless steel wire or plastic, such as stainless steel single ring, three-dimensional double ring, peach ring, uterine ring, etc.; plastic contraceptive surgical flowers, incense rings, eugenics rings and mixed rings made of metal and plastic. This type of contraceptive ring was first used in China and is more commonly used. At this stage, the main type used is still the single stainless steel ring. Their disadvantages are the higher rates of falling out and pregnancy with the ring. The specific contraceptive ring is a second-generation product developed in the 1970s. Most of them use plastic or silicone as a support frame, and then wind copper wire or put in progesterone value, female hormone, so they are also called copper or progesterone value contraceptive ring. In addition to the contraceptive properties of the first-generation products, this type of product also stimulates the extracellular fluid of the uterus by slowly releasing copper ions or progesterone to enhance the contraceptive effect.

No matter which IUD a woman chooses, it is best to have it inserted within 3-7 days after her menstrual period is over, and she should not have sexual intercourse. This is because sexual intercourse can easily lead to infection or pregnancy with the IUD (you cannot get pregnant again with the IUD). To avoid this, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse before inserting the IUD.

How many types of contraceptive rings are there for women?

(1) Inert contraceptive ring

The main meaning of the inert contraceptive ring is that it is made of inert materials, such as our common plastic polyester, stainless steel and other materials. It will not release any active substances, but because of its poor contraceptive effect, it has been gradually replaced at present. Therefore, many women have never even seen this kind of inert contraceptive ring, and of course they know little about it.

(2) Specific contraceptive ring

Specific contraceptive rings are mainly made of metal composites such as copper or zinc and placed into the uterine cavity. The contraceptive ring will slowly release active substances, thereby greatly improving the actual effect of the contraceptive ring. At present, it is also a type of contraceptive ring chosen by many people.

(3) Contraceptive ring that releases hemostatic drugs

This type of contraceptive ring can mainly control the increase in menstrual volume and prevent the problem of increased menstrual volume after using the contraceptive ring. It can help women prevent adverse effects such as internal bleeding. It is not difficult to see that this type of contraceptive ring is also helpful in protecting women's bodies.
