We know that ectopic pregnancy has a greater impact on women's health, and timely and effective treatment methods should be adopted.

Will pregnancy with IUD be an ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is a commonly heard case of pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy poses huge risks to both the mother and the fetus, so we must learn scientific methods to prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. After the second-child policy was opened, some pregnant women who already had an IUD inserted would have questions: will it be an ectopic pregnancy after the IUD is inserted? Next, let’s find out together.

There is still a possibility of ectopic pregnancy after IUD insertion. The IUD is not a 100% contraceptive and there is a possibility of contraceptive failure. That is, there is a possibility of pregnancy or even ectopic pregnancy. If menstruation is delayed, it is best to go to the hospital to check whether you are pregnant or have an ectopic pregnancy. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs, it is best to follow the doctor's advice and seek timely treatment.

Things to note after getting the ring:

1. There may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after insertion, which will mostly disappear on their own. The main complication of IUD insertion is bleeding. The main symptoms are excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, irregular menstrual bleeding, etc. Generally speaking, there will always be a small amount of bleeding after the ring is placed, but it will not exceed one week. If the bleeding lasts for more than a week, or the amount of bleeding is as much as menstrual flow, it is an abnormal reaction. If there is heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, or fever, you should go to a medical institution for diagnosis and treatment.

2. Do not do heavy physical labor within a week. You should rest in bed for three days. Exerting too much can cause bleeding and inflammation.

3. Within 3 months after placement, pay attention to less activity and avoid heavy physical activities, including walking around for a long time, sitting or standing for a long time, etc. If the menstrual flow is likely to increase, you should pay attention to whether the contraceptive device falls off during menstruation. Do not have sex or take a bath in a tub if there is vaginal bleeding.

4. Bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited within half a month after the operation.

5. If any of the following situations occur, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately: severe abdominal pain, fever, pelvic pain, and increased vaginal discharge. Menstruation has not started or there is a possibility of pregnancy. The IUD falls out. Pain during sexual intercourse. Excessive bleeding or irregular bleeding or bleeding that won't stop, etc.
