Dangers of intrauterine devices

The intrauterine device, also known as the IUD, is a common contraceptive method in modern life. It mainly involves placing the IUD in the female's cervix to achieve the purpose of contraception. However, when women use intrauterine devices, it can cause great harm to their bodies and can easily lead to lower back pain or infection.

Dangers of intrauterine devices

The side effects of the IUD are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Bleeding. It is currently believed that the IUD increases the activity of fibrinolytic enzymes and is the main cause of bleeding.

2. Lower back pain and abdominal distension. This may be because the IUD is too large or placed too low, causing uterine contractions.

Third, infection. In a few cases, ascending infection may occur due to improper disinfection or aseptic operation.

Fourth, IUD incarceration. Some IUDs may become embedded in the uterine muscle wall due to improper placement.

5. The IUD falls off. Shedding often occurs within the first year, especially in the first three months, during menstruation.

6. Pregnancy with an IUD. Pregnancy with an IUD may occur due to improper selection or placement of the IUD.

The harm of IUD to women

First, the patient lacks scientific knowledge about the relationship between vasectomy and sexual function before the operation, which leads to serious psychological burden and even depression after the operation; second, it is caused by organic complications caused by the operation. Therefore, before sterilization, it is very important to correct the patient's fundamental misunderstanding of vasectomy and relieve the patient's mental burden. For sexual dysfunction caused by complications, active symptomatic treatment is required.

Tubal sterilization is a safe and reliable sterilization surgery, and the patient can choose to undergo tubal sterilization after a cesarean section, avoiding multiple surgeries.

However, due to various reasons, some complications may still occur during and after the operation. Short-term postoperative complications include major and serious complications such as abdominal wall incision bleeding, hematoma, poor wound healing and infection, as well as adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, peritonitis and even sepsis and toxic shock. Long-term postoperative complications include chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, intestinal adhesions, omentum syndrome, sterilization failure, and ectopic pregnancy. Although choosing different ligation methods can reduce the occurrence of complications, in general, the complications of fallopian tube sterilization are more numerous and serious than those of vasectomy.
