How long after the ring is removed

The IUD, also known as the intrauterine contraceptive device, is a new method of contraception. It is simple and effective and can achieve long-term contraceptive effects. A ring can be placed in the body for up to 10 years. It may also have slight side effects due to different physical conditions of each person, such as irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal menstrual function, or symptoms of heavy or light menstrual flow. You should consult a doctor for specific details.

What you should know about IUD insertion and removal!

An IUD is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity. Since the devices used in the early days were mostly ring-shaped, they are usually called contraceptive rings. "IUD insertion" is the most common long-term contraceptive measure that Chinese women of childbearing age are forced to choose. Often an IUD can be left in the body for more than ten years.

Are there any side effects of having an IUD inserted?

The most common side effect of IUD insertion is menstrual abnormalities, which are mainly manifested as increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period or a small amount of spotting, which usually recovers after 3-6 months. A small number of patients will experience increased vaginal discharge and lower abdominal distension and pain after IUD insertion. Generally speaking, there are several possible times to insert an IUD: (1) 3-7 days after the end of menstruation; (2) immediately after an abortion; (3) six months after a cesarean section. For other cases, you can consult an obstetrician or gynecologist.

What is the difference between an IUD and a ligation?

The main purpose of IUD insertion is to place the ring in the uterine cavity of women of childbearing age, achieving contraception through mechanical stimulation and chemical interference, while sterilization is a safe and permanent birth control measure. The woman's fallopian tubes are tied surgically to block the meeting of sperm and egg, thereby achieving sterilization. It should be noted that pregnancy is still possible after sterilization. After ligation, if you want to have children, you can undergo fallopian tube recanalization, but the results vary from person to person. Compared with IUD insertion, sterilization surgery is more complicated and causes greater trauma to the human body, so sterilization is suitable for people who require permanent birth control.

What are the precautions for Sheung Wan?

For women who gave birth naturally, it is suitable to have an IUD inserted three months after delivery. For those who had a caesarean section, it is suitable to have it inserted six months later. For those who had an artificial abortion, it should be done after menstruation.

The time for IUD insertion is usually 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. At this time, the endometrium is relatively thin and is not easy to cause bleeding. After the menstruation ends, you should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean. Women who suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis, sexually transmitted diseases, or have unexplained vaginal bleeding are not suitable for the placement of an IUD. The correct approach is to cure the disease as soon as possible, and then choose the right time to insert the contraceptive ring under the doctor's advice.

What are the advantages of Sheung Wan?

The side effects of IUD are relatively small and most people can use it. Some contraceptives containing hormones may cause menstrual irregularities, including decreased menstrual flow or amenorrhea, breakthrough bleeding, increased menstrual flow, and prolonged menstrual period. It is also not suitable for patients with breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, etc. The IUD has no effect on sexual life, is harmless to the body, has a long contraceptive duration, is easy to place, and causes little pain. It has a good contraceptive effect after placement and does not affect fertility. When the person taking the contraceptive device needs to have a child, fertility can be restored by removing the IUD. Can the "lifetime ring" remain in the body for a lifetime?

Can't. No matter what kind of "ring" it is, it has a service life. An expired contraceptive ring will lose its medicinal properties, and some stents will melt and break. The most direct consequence is: it will not have a contraceptive effect. Once you get pregnant, it will be a pregnancy with the ring, and over time, it may also lead to uterine infection.

Some women do not remove the IUD after menopause, which is very dangerous. After menopause, the uterus gradually shrinks, and the IUD gradually embeds into the flesh of the uterine wall like a knife, causing abdominal pain, bleeding, infection, pus accumulation, and even breaking through the uterine wall and escaping from the uterus, thus damaging other organs in the abdominal cavity.
