What to check during the ring reexamination

When wearing an IUD, you should first check your body, for example, to see if you have any gynecological inflammation, any serious diseases, including anemia, etc., including some heart diseases, etc. If there is no problem, you can wear the IUD. After wearing the IUD, you should go to the hospital for regular check-ups. For example, after 12 months, you should have a check-up once a year to ensure the effectiveness of the IUD.

What to check during the ring reexamination

As for follow-up examinations, the first examination after the placement of the ring is generally after the first menstruation, the second examination is within 3-6 months after the placement of the ring, and the third examination is 12 months after the placement of the ring, and then a year after that.

The IUD is most likely to fall out during the first few months after it is inserted. Such as lower back pain, abdominal pain, increased leucorrhea, increased menstrual flow, etc. A gynecological B-ultrasound examination is required to clarify the status of the IUD. You can use a Genie ring instead. It looks like a miniature chain and consists of 6 copper sleeves strung through polypropylene surgical sutures. Because the entire ring has no stent, its shape is relatively free and can change with the uterine cavity. At the same time, one end of the ring is embedded in the myometrium of the uterine wall, so the shedding rate is low.

How long after having an IUD can I have sex?

Many women now use contraceptive rings, but they must pay attention to taking care of their bodies after having the ring inserted. They cannot have sex during this period, otherwise it is easy to cause infection and endanger their health. The IUD is a simple, safe, effective contraceptive measure that does not affect sexual life and is the choice of many women. However, some women are eager to have sex after having an IUD inserted, which is absolutely not allowed. After having the IUD inserted, you must wait for a week to half a month, because there will be a break-in period between the IUD and you. If you have sex too early, the IUD may become bent or fall off, and may also cause gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and cervicitis.

Side effects of wearing an IUD

Before getting an IUD, women need to understand the side effects of having an IUD, which will help avoid and reduce the harm caused to the body. Having an IUD doesn't mean a woman won't get pregnant. If the size of the IUD does not suit your body, or if the IUD is placed in an inappropriate position, it may lead to pregnancy while wearing the IUD, and in severe cases, ectopic pregnancy may occur.

Regardless of whether you have had childbearing experience or not, there is a possibility of ectopic pregnancy after having an IUD inserted. However, among cases of ectopic pregnancy with an IUD, a larger number occur in women who have had childbearing experience. In addition, children conceived with an IUD cannot be kept. It is best to have an abortion under the doctor's instructions as soon as possible to avoid endangering life and health.

Some women will feel abdominal pain, back pain, etc. after the IUD operation. This may mean that the IUD is too large or the position of the IUD is too low, causing uterine contractions. In this case, you can first relieve the pain by taking antispasmodics. If this method does not work, you can replace the ring with a new one.

Infection is also one of the side effects of having an IUD. This is because during the operation, disinfection measures or aseptic operations were not carried out in strict accordance with the requirements, which led to ascending infection. If this happens, the IUD must be removed first, and then further treatment should be taken according to the specific circumstances.
