How to wear a contraceptive ring

The contraceptive ring is a contraceptive device placed in the female vagina. It can block the combination of sperm and egg and has a good contraceptive effect. However, wearing a contraceptive ring requires surgery in the hospital. After the contraceptive ring is installed, there may be symptoms of vaginal discomfort and vaginal infection. Therefore, female friends should pay attention to it, and install the contraceptive ring away from the menstrual period, and pay attention to the protection of the vagina.

Placement of the IUD

The contraceptive ring is a contraceptive device placed in the uterus, which achieves the purpose of contraception through mechanical stimulation and interference of chemical substances.

Generally, for first-time users, medical staff can place it in the deepest part of the vagina (posterior fornix of the vagina) on the 5th day of menstruation. The front and back walls of the vagina are usually in close contact, so vaginal contraceptive rings are generally not easy to fall out deep in the vagina. However, users should go to the hospital for regular check-ups and learn to check and correct the position of the ring by themselves under the guidance of medical staff.

Precautions for women wearing IUDs

(1) Remember the type of IUD and whether it has a tail thread. This will be very helpful for future follow-up.

(2) To avoid infection, do not have sexual intercourse for two weeks after the IUD is inserted or during vaginal bleeding, and avoid heavy physical labor or excessive fatigue. You can shower as usual after surgery, but do not bathe in a tub or sit in a tub.

(3) During the first three months of menstruation after insertion, especially when the menstrual flow is heavy, pay attention to whether the IUD has fallen off.

(4) Within one week after IUD placement, you may experience mild discomfort in the lower abdomen, heaviness, and back pain. These are normal reactions and generally do not require treatment. If you are already pregnant (including suspected), or have had an infectious miscarriage within three months, have acute pelvic inflammatory disease, infectious endometritis, untreated cervicitis, malignant tumors (including suspected), have bleeding problems, or already have an IUD, you cannot have an IUD inserted.
