Which is better for women: sterilization or IUD?

After giving birth, some women have no desire to get pregnant again, but are unwilling to use emergency contraception or condoms to prevent pregnancy. They want to choose a contraceptive method that lasts longer and does less harm to the body. Many people choose vasectomy or IUD insertion. So which one is better for women to get sterilized or to get an IUD? What are the effects of female sterilization? Next, I will introduce them one by one for your reference.

Which is better for women: sterilization or IUD insertion?

Which one is better, sterilization or IUD insertion? There is no unified opinion on this. Many people think that IUD insertion is better, while many people think that sterilization is better. Sterilization is a type of sterilization that can be performed on both men and women. It is very simple and easy, but compared with female sterilization, male sterilization has relatively fewer side effects, so it is recommended that men undergo surgical treatment after sterilization. The IUD is for women, and there is generally no such thing as an IUD for men. There is a significant difference between inserting an IUD and sterilization surgery. Having the IUD placed does not mean that women can be safe once and for all. The IUD may fall off, but most women are unaware of it. It is recommended that women undergo regular gynecological examinations after the placement of the IUD to see if the IUD has fallen off or is inserted into the uterus. Generally, the IUD should be checked once after the menstrual period is over in the first month, and then again after three months, and then once every six months to check the condition of the IUD in the uterus.

In addition, since it is impossible to get pregnant after a sterilization operation, if you still want to have a baby, you can choose to use an IUD. If you want to get an IUD, most women can get one. As long as you follow the doctor's instructions and go to a professional hospital for treatment, generally there is no problem. If the IUD is really not compatible after insertion, just remove it immediately.

For young female friends, it is recommended to choose the method of contraception with an IUD. Contraception is a matter between husband and wife, especially the husband should pay more attention to, cherish and care for his wife; the matter of contraception cannot be completely pushed to women.

What are the effects of female sterilization?

Although female sterilization is a minimally invasive surgery, the impact of sterilization on women cannot be ignored. The effects of vasectomy on women include:

1. Some statistical analyses emphasize that the probability of needing a hysterectomy due to some gynecological problems after a sterilization operation is higher than that of the general population.

2. Vascular ligation surgery causes damage to the bladder or intestines.

3. Pelvic pain. Postoperative pelvic infection, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease due to incomplete treatment, or original pelvic inflammatory disease before surgery.

4. Bleeding. Bleeding is mostly caused by incomplete blood circulation during surgical treatment, failure to deal with it in a timely manner, or failure to detect abnormal coagulation in the patient before surgery.

5. Changes in menstrual period. Menstrual period changes may be related to the patient's physiological conditions before surgery, such as after childbirth, abortion, older age (35-40 years old), surgical method, etc. The main symptoms are irregular menstruation or excessive menstruation, which can be treated with medication after the cause is established.

6. Psychosomatic disease (neurosis). Patients who have great concerns about surgery before surgery, have fear or anxiety, or have neurosis often experience physical and mental abnormalities after surgery, but no organic symptoms are found to be related to the body's organs.

7. Infection. According to the location, it can be divided into two categories: abdominal wound infection and pelvic infection. In the early stages of abdominal wound infection, some wounds will become red, swollen, hot, and painful, and may be accompanied by fever. There will be purulent secretions from the wound, and a lump with unclear boundaries may be felt in the abdominal cavity.
