The insertion of an IUD is a reasonable contraceptive method advocated by my country's family planning policy, and at this stage it is still the best way of safe contraception. Therefore, the question of whether it is good for women to have an IUD actually varies from person to person. Some people have been in good condition after having an IUD, while others will experience some side effects.

Benefits of having an IUD

The contraceptive effect of the contraceptive ring is relatively good. After being placed in the female uterus, it can achieve the purpose of long-term contraception, and the fertility function can be restored quickly after removal. Compared with birth control pills and condoms, the placement of an IUD is safe, reasonable, economical, does not affect the sexual life of couples, and has few side effects.

1. It does not suppress ovulation and does not affect the female endocrine system, thus avoiding the side effects of general contraceptive drugs. It does not cause any serious harm to the human body and can be used for long-term contraception.

2. Does not affect the sexual life of couples: Many people like to wear condoms when having sex, but they do not have such a high sexual desire and it is also very inconvenient. It has seriously affected the couple's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

3. It will not affect women’s reproductive function: If you want to have a baby, you only need to remove the ring, and it will not cause any impact on the body.

Possible side effects after IUD insertion

1. Infection: For women who have a history of genital inflammation in the past, or have sex too early or frequently after the IUD is inserted, infection may occur.

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. Therefore, for some women, bleeding after IUD insertion generally does not need to be treated and can be cured after a week. Sometimes red discharge or a small amount of bleeding may occur, which can be treated with general blood circulation methods.

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. If the condition is mild, no treatment is needed and it will generally go away gradually; if the condition is severe, indomethacin or other anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment.

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. After a period of time, when the uterine wall tissue is completely integrated, at this time, not only the vaginal discharge increases significantly, but also accompanied by fever, lower abdominal pain and other discomforts. If you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs or see a doctor immediately,

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. Many problems can lead to damage to the uterine wall, and the situation will improve with the increase of placement time.
