What are the harms to the body if the ring is used for a long time?

Many women choose to wear an IUD after giving birth. It can be said that the IUD is a common contraceptive method. Those who have experienced wearing IUDs must know that wearing IUDs can cause certain harm to women’s bodies. Especially after wearing it for a long time. So what are the harms of wearing an IUD for a long time? Let’s learn about this issue together below.

What are the harms of wearing a ring for a long time?

1. Uterine damage. Conditions of uterine damage include uterine perforation, mechanical damage to the uterine part, uterine membrane fibrosis, etc. Uterine perforation may be caused by poor operation by general doctors or the size of the uterus itself is not suitable for placement of an IUD. The mechanical damage to the uterus and uterine membrane fibrosis are caused by the long-term exercise of the contraceptive ring in the uterus.

2. The IUD contains iodine ions, which can cause heavy menstrual flow and non-coagulated bleeding.

3. Ectopic pregnancy. The IUD exists in the uterus, and its contraceptive effect is naturally limited to normal test tube embryos that implant in the uterus. Once the test tube embryo does not choose to implant in the uterine cavity, and "takes root" in other places such as the fallopian tubes, it will cause ectopic pregnancy. Although it is not directly caused by the IUD, women who often use it will ignore the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

What are the benefits of having an IUD?

1. Reasonable contraceptive measures

The IUD is a very good choice for couples who want to take contraceptive measures. Once inserted, it can be used for more than 5 years or even longer. In fact, placing an IUD in the uterine cavity generally has no side effects for most people.

2. Do not suppress ovulation

The IUD does not affect the female endocrine system, thus preventing the side effects of general pharmaceutical contraceptive measures. It does not cause any serious harm to the human body and can be used for long-term contraception.

3. Does not affect women’s reproductive function

If you want to have a baby again after inserting the IUD, you just need to remove the ring, and it will not cause any impact on your body. However, taking emergency contraception may affect fertility in the long run.

4. Does not affect the couple's life

Many people like to wear condoms when having sex, but they don't have that high sexual desire, and it's also very inconvenient, which seriously affects the daily life between couples. The insertion of an IUD does not have a significant impact on sexual intercourse. After a period of time, the couple can continue their sexual life as usual.

In daily life, many women use the ring method for contraception. It can be said that this method is simpler and more effective, and the side effects are relatively small compared to other contraceptive methods. However, you must also pay attention to the duration of wearing the ring. If you wear the ring for too long, it will definitely cause serious harm to the woman's body.
