Can I still get pregnant with an IUD?

Theoretically speaking, it is very reliable for women to use IUDs for contraception, but even so, the reliability is not 100%, because there is no 100% reliable contraceptive method at present. It is especially important to note that IUDs can only prevent normal pregnancies, but have no effect on ectopic pregnancies. Obviously, women's normal pregnancies will definitely be affected by IUDs.

Can I still get pregnant with an IUD?

"IUD insertion" is the most common long-term contraceptive measure that Chinese women of childbearing age are forced to take. Often an IUD can be left in the body for more than ten years. The scientific name of the "ring" is intrauterine device, which is placed in the uterine cavity of women of childbearing age to achieve the purpose of abortion and contraception through mechanical stimulation and interference of chemical substances. It does not inhibit ovulation and does not affect the female endocrine system, thus avoiding the adverse reactions of general drug contraceptives. After years of practical improvement, most of the IUDs currently used in clinical practice are copper-containing or drug-containing IUDs. The stent materials are plastic, polyethylene, memory alloy, etc., and the shapes are not single, including round, T-shaped, V-shaped, Y-shaped and chain-shaped. IUDs made of different materials and in different shapes have their own characteristics, and therefore can be suitable for women with different physiques and needs.

Contraceptive devices have a certain failure rate, which is mostly caused by "ring dislodgmentation", that is, the contraceptive device is expelled from the uterine cavity. "Ring fall" is mostly related to cervical relaxation of the user, so such women should choose contraceptive devices with caution. You can try the mother-loving ring, which is V-shaped, consistent with the shape of the uterine cavity. The bracket is made of memory alloy, which has good compliance and is not easy to deform. There are copper particles at both ends, which are not easy to fall off. Another feature of this ring is that it has no tail thread, thus reducing the incidence of reproductive tract infections and discomfort in sexual life. Of course, the ring with the lowest rate of ring removal is the Genie Ring imported from Belgium. Its appearance resembles a miniature chain and is composed 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.

The IUD has been used as the main contraceptive measure for more than 30 years. It is claimed by the family planning department to be a "safe", "effective", simple, economical and reversible birth control method, and is also claimed by the family planning department to be "quite popular among women." However, many women have deep concerns about the use of IUDs. Below are some of the topics that readers are most concerned about and will explain them one by one.

Is the insertion of an IUD foolproof for contraception?

After Xiao Zhang had the IUD inserted, her menstrual flow began to increase and her period became longer. More than ten days after her period, she went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, only to find that the IUD was gone and she was pregnant. Xiao Zhang was very confused: since the IUD has been inserted, how could it fall off?

The IUD falls off because the size and shape of the IUD do not match the uterine cavity and the supporting force of the material is insufficient. In addition, the IUD is a foreign body to the uterus, and the uterus's rejection function causes the uterine muscles to contract continuously in an attempt to expel the IUD. At this time, you may experience lower back pain, abdominal pain, increased leucorrhea, and increased menstrual flow. Therefore, the IUD is most likely to fall off within the first few months after its placement. As time goes by, the uterus and the IUD will "coexist peacefully". The longer the IUD is in place, the less likely it is to fall out.

The falling off of the IUD can cause pregnancy, so can you get pregnant while having the IUD? Xiao Zeng has been wearing an IUD for seven or eight years. This time she went to the hospital for irregular menstruation. After examining her, the doctor told her that she was pregnant. She couldn't believe that she could get pregnant with an IUD. The reasons why pregnancy with an IUD may occur are: the position of the IUD in the uterine cavity is low, close to the cervical opening, and cannot inhibit the implantation and development of the fertilized egg; the size of the IUD is not suitable for the size of the uterine cavity, or the IUD has been deformed and has lost its contraceptive effect; the endometrium does not respond to the IUD and the contraceptive effect cannot be achieved.
