Is it good for women to wear a ring?

Married women are not unfamiliar with the use of IUDs. They can serve as a contraceptive measure, and the probability of successful contraception is also very high. However, some women are worried that having an IUD inserted will affect their bodies, and they have been taking some contraceptive drugs. So, what effects does having an IUD inserted have on women's bodies?

1. After inserting the contraceptive ring, women may feel soreness in their waist. This situation occurs because the contraceptive ring has just been inserted into the uterus and the uterus cannot accept it yet. This condition will not last too long. Generally, when the body gradually adapts to the contraceptive ring, the back pain will gradually subside. Just be careful not to do physical work after the contraceptive ring is inserted.

2. Some women will continue to experience vaginal bleeding after inserting the IUD, and sometimes the frequency of menstruation will increase. Not only the frequency of menstruation will increase, but the amount of menstruation will also increase. This phenomenon is caused by the uterus being pressed against the uterine wall, and the cells in the uterus are aggregated. With the passage of time, this phenomenon will gradually disappear.

3. Abnormal leucorrhea is also a condition that women will always experience after having an IUD inserted. Generally, women's secretions will increase significantly right after the IUD is inserted, and for most women, it will gradually decrease after three months. If a woman experiences this condition for a long time after having an IUD inserted, she should seek medical attention immediately to avoid causing harm to her body.

Common problems after IUD insertion

1. Take a break

After the ring is put in place, the cervix is ​​relatively loose and the ring is easy to fall off, so you should rest for two days after the ring is put in. It is not suitable for physical labor or high-intensity activities within a week. When going to the toilet, try to avoid holding your breath too hard to prevent the ring from coming off due to a sudden increase in abdominal pressure.

2. Maintain hygiene

IUD placement is a surgical procedure. In order to prevent infection, you should keep your vulva clean after the operation, wash your lower body with warm water and change your underwear every night. Within two weeks, sexual intercourse (this requires close cooperation from the man) and bathing in a tub (but showering or sponge bathing is allowed) are strictly prohibited to maintain vaginal hygiene and avoid cross infection.

3. Pay attention and observe

Within a few days after the placement of the contraceptive ring (mainly the first three days), there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding, mild lower abdominal discomfort (such as backache and feeling of heaviness), and excessive vaginal discharge (this is caused by surgical trauma or reflex compression of the contraceptive ring or rupture of small blood vessels in the uterine wall). These symptoms usually disappear on their own and do not require treatment. If the bleeding is heavy or lasts for more than a week, especially if you have abdominal pain or fever, go to the hospital immediately.

4. Avoid falling

Within 3 months after the ring is inserted, especially in some women whose cervix is ​​too loose and whose menstrual flow is heavy, the contraceptive ring may fall out with the menstrual discharge during the menstrual period. Therefore, when these women go to the toilet during their menstrual period, they should pay special attention to whether the ring falls out with their menstruation. Once it happens, go to the hospital for a replacement in time, and pay attention to replacing it with a model of appropriate size to prevent it from falling off again.

5. Regular follow-up

The follow-up time is generally in the first month after the IUD insertion surgery, with a physical examination in the hospital after the menstrual period ends; follow-up visits are once in 3 months (or half a year) and one year; and then once a year (those with IUD insertion must go to the hospital or designated area in the community for "IUD checks" on time).

6. Beware of hidden pregnancy

The IUD is not a 100% effective contraceptive measure, and a very small number of women may get pregnant with the IUD. Therefore, if amenorrhea occurs during the period of wearing the ring, especially when accompanied by nausea, vomiting, picky eating, etc., you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and take preventive measures.
