What harm does the IUD do to women?

In life, many women choose long-term contraceptive methods because taking birth control pills has a relatively large impact on their bodies. Currently, the most common method is to use contraceptive rings. Of course, depending on individual differences, some women may experience side effects or adverse reactions after using contraceptive rings, so it is necessary to understand the pros and cons of contraceptive rings. So what harm does the IUD insertion cause to women?

1. Every contraceptive method has its pros and cons. For women, IUD has the highest contraceptive success rate, which can reach 99%. It is also the most convenient and economical contraceptive method. However, it can also cause some complications in women, namely, excessive menstruation, prolonged menstruation, sometimes irregular vaginal bleeding, and pain in the lumbar region. These phenomena generally return to normal three months after the ring is inserted. Some people may also experience an increase in the amount of vaginal discharge, which increases the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. When you have your period, if the amount of blood is heavy, you should pay attention to whether there is any leakage from the ring.

2. Increased vaginal discharge: If a contraceptive ring with a tail thread is installed, it can also cause a significant increase in cervical secretions, that is, increased vaginal discharge. After a period of time, when the endometrial tissue has fully adapted, at this time, not only will the vaginal discharge increase significantly, but it will also be accompanied by systemic fever, lower abdominal pain and other discomforts. In this case, you need to urgently take anti-inflammatory drugs or go directly to the hospital.

3. Infection: IUD insertion can cause infection. When inserting an IUD, the doctor will strictly disinfect the woman's vulva, vagina and endometrium, and infection rarely occurs. Infection may occur in women who have a history of genital tract inflammation, or who have sex too early or too frequently after having an IUD inserted.

4. Note: Within 3 months after placement, be careful to move less and avoid heavy physical activities, including walking around for a long time, sitting or standing for a long time, etc. If the menstrual flow is likely to increase, you should pay attention to whether the contraceptive device falls off during menstruation. Do not have sex or take a bath in the tub if there is vaginal bleeding. If any of the following situations occur, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately: severe abdominal pain, fever, pelvic pain, increased vaginal discharge; menstruation has not stopped or there is a possibility of pregnancy; the IUD falls off; pain during sexual intercourse; excessive bleeding or irregular bleeding or bleeding that does not stop, etc.
