How many types of IUDs are there for women?

Sexual life is an indispensable thing between couples, and it is also a seasoning of emotions between couples, which can make the emotions between couples more intimate. However, contraceptive methods are a must for many pregnant families. Among them, IUDs are chosen by many people because they cause less harm to women's bodies and have a very high success rate of contraception. Let's take a look at how many types of IUDs there are for women.

How many types of IUDs are there for women?

Inert intrauterine contraceptive device: made of stainless steel wire or plastic, silicone, such as metal single ring, twisted ring and stainless steel uterine ring.

Copper intrauterine device: It is the most widely used type of active intrauterine device, which uses the killing effect of copper on sperm or fertilized eggs to enhance the contraceptive effect.

Progestin-releasing intrauterine device: The progestin contained in the intrauterine device is slowly and steadily released into the uterine cavity, which improves the contraceptive effect and can significantly reduce bleeding.

Intrauterine devices that release hemostatic drugs: can effectively control the increase in menstrual volume after intrauterine device placement.

The foreign body effect of the intrauterine contraceptive device can cause asexual inflammation of the endometrium, thereby affecting the implantation of the fertilized egg. In addition to the above functions, the washable intrauterine contraceptive device also releases copper ions, which have a killing effect on sperm and embryos.

The intrauterine device containing progestin can release a small amount of progestin into the uterine cavity for a long time, causing the endometrium to atrophy, which is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg. Both of these effects further enhance the contraceptive effect of the active intrauterine device.

Contraceptive device containing anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs. Aimuhuan, a company specializing in the research of contraceptive rings, has developed the third-generation MYCU intrauterine contraceptive device based on the successful sales of 12 million Aimuhuan in 10 years through 10 years of market research and investigation. It has been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration.

The third generation MYCU ring uses the most effective copper-containing contraceptive method in the world. It adopts sustained-release technology to add indole magnesium zinc (anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and analgesic) to the contraceptive ring, solving the problems of bleeding, pain, and inflammation after insertion, and has no tail threads.

Placement time

Women who are having their IUD inserted for the first time especially want to know when is the best time to have it inserted. In fact, at present, except for the contraindications of IUD placement, there are few restrictions on the time of IUD placement. After a lot of practice and scientific identification, scientific and technical personnel believe that IUD placement is safe and feasible during the following periods:

(1) To be placed when menstruation has not yet ended. It should be placed on the 3rd to 5th day of menstruation. There are three advantages during this period: first, the cervix is ​​loose and easy to insert. Secondly, since menstruation has just arrived, pregnancy can be ruled out and the ring will not be mistakenly placed in a pregnant uterus. Third, it avoids the concerns and inconveniences caused to women by the small amount of bleeding after the IUD is inserted.

(2) Place after menstruation is over. It is best to have the IUD inserted 3-7 days after the menstruation ends and when there is no sexual history, because at this time the endometrium is just beginning to grow and the endometrium is thin, so bleeding can be avoided during insertion. At the same time, not having sexual intercourse after menstruation also avoids the possibility that the fertilized egg has grown on the endometrium when the IUD is inserted. Generally, most women choose to have the IUD inserted at this time.

(3) The IUD is inserted immediately after delivery. At this time, the insertion operation is simple and easy, and contraceptive measures can be implemented in time, but it must be inserted after examination and approval by an obstetrician.

(4) Placed 42 days after delivery. That is, it should be placed during a health check around 42 days after delivery. The advantages of placing it at this time are: first, the cervix is ​​loose. Second, the uterus has returned to its normal size and has not shrunk due to breastfeeding for too long. Third, timely implementation of contraceptive measures is convenient for women and can avoid the occurrence of "hidden pregnancy".

(5) The IUD can be inserted more than three months after delivery. However, it should be noted that if this time is the breastfeeding period, although there is no menstruation, there is still a possibility of pregnancy, which is what people usually call "hidden pregnancy". Therefore, women who have not had menstruation after delivery should first ask a doctor to check whether they are pregnant. Only when it is confirmed that they are not pregnant can the IUD be inserted.

(6) The IUD is inserted immediately after artificial abortion or forceps curettage. The advantage is that contraceptive measures can be implemented in one operation, which reduces pain and is more convenient for women.

(7) The IUD is inserted after normal menstruation resumes after a spontaneous abortion or artificial abortion with curettage.

(8) If the caesarean section is performed or the operation has been performed for more than six months and the condition is normal, IUD insertion can also be considered.

(9) If the previously placed ring has expired and requires a replacement, a new ring can be inserted at the same time as the ring is removed. You can also insert a new ring after your next menstrual period is over. But you must remember to use contraception during the month after removing the IUD.

(10) It can be used for emergency contraception if inserted within 5 days after unprotected sex.

(11) It should be performed within 7 days after the end of menstruation, preferably on the third or fourth day after the end of menstruation.

Do not place objects

1. People with inflammation of some reproductive organs, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, severe cervical erosion, vaginitis and other inflammations.

2. Frequent menstruation with heavy flow or irregular vaginal bleeding

3. Genital tumors, such as ovarian cancer, uterine fibroids, etc.

4. Very serious systemic diseases, such as severe anemia, heart failure, etc.

5. For those with a loose cervix, severe tearing, or severe uterine prolapse, the IUD may easily fall out even after insertion. Such people are not suitable for contraceptive IUD insertion.

6. If the condition is caused by fever, with a body temperature above 37.5℃, or the cause is unknown, the IUD can only be inserted after the fever subsides.

IUD is a contraceptive method with a relatively high success rate. At the same time, it will not affect the quality of sexual life. Therefore, it is the first choice of many families who choose contraception. After understanding the types of IUDs for women, it is not necessarily the most expensive one is the best one. After all, everyone's physical fitness is different, and you have to choose the one that suits you.
