How to put a contraceptive ring in women

The so-called female contraceptive ring is what we call an IUD in daily life. It is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity. Generally, this type of contraceptive ring is ring-shaped. There are many types of contraceptive rings in life, and there are many kinds of materials used. So you will choose the contraceptive ring that suits you according to your physical condition. The contraceptive ring has very little side effects on the body. Let’s talk about how to place the contraceptive ring.

It is best to insert the IUD 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. If an IUD is inserted after an artificial abortion, the depth of the uterine cavity should be controlled to be less than 10 cm. The IUD should be placed during lactation at least 3 months after delivery, and 6 months after cesarean section. If it is a spontaneous abortion, it would be appropriate to resume normal menstruation at least once. At present, copper intrauterine devices are the clinically preferred contraceptive ring in my country.

After the contraceptive ring is placed in the uterine cavity, the body and the endometrium have an adaptation process. Some people may experience side effects such as increased vaginal discharge, bloody vaginal discharge, increased menstrual flow, irregular menstrual cycle and lower abdominal discomfort after the insertion of the IUD. Most of these symptoms disappear naturally within three months to six months and have little impact on the body. However, if the aseptic operation is not strict, the technique is unskilled, the placement is improper or the action is rough, it may cause serious complications, such as uterine perforation, ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine contraceptive device displacement, infection (endometritis, adnexitis, etc.), irregular bleeding and menstrual disorders, all of which may result in infertility. The contraceptive effect of the contraceptive ring will be immediately taken effect after it is placed, and the contraceptive effect will disappear immediately after it is removed. According to clinical observations, many women become pregnant again shortly after having their IUD removed. Therefore, if you plan to become pregnant, you should remove the contraceptive ring in time. Except for the serious complications mentioned above, it will generally not cause infertility. If there are no side effects or complications, the metal IUD can be placed for 8 to 10 years, the plastic IUD can be placed for 3 to 5 years, and the medicated IUD can be placed for 1 year. After removal, a new one should be replaced immediately.

We should also understand the placement method of female contraceptive rings, but if it is the first time to place a contraceptive ring, you need to pay attention to some matters and go to the hospital for regular check-ups. In the one to two weeks after the ring is inserted, since there is a foreign body in the uterus, it will take a long time to adapt. Once inflammation occurs, the contraceptive ring should be removed for treatment.
