The material of the IUD

For women of childbearing age, IUD is a very common contraceptive method. After giving birth, many women choose this type of IUD for contraception. Inserting an IUD is a relatively minor operation, which involves placing a contraceptive ring at the opening of the uterus to achieve the contraceptive effect. With the advancement of science and technology, there are many materials available for contraceptive rings. Let’s take a brief look at the materials of IUDs.

The material of the IUD

1. Steel contraceptive ring: The contraceptive ring made of this material has very good contraceptive effect and comfort of use. Generally speaking, the validity period can reach about 15-20 years, which is a very long time.

2. Copper contraceptive ring: This type of contraceptive ring has a better contraceptive effect, but it may be slightly less cost-effective than steel contraceptive rings. Experienced people know that the validity period of copper contraceptive rings is usually around 3-5 years, so they can be used for relatively few years.

3. Plastic contraceptive ring: This type of contraceptive ring is the most common one. Its main component is plastic. The validity period of plastic contraceptive ring is usually about 3 years.

What should women pay attention to before getting an IUD?

1. Before having an IUD inserted, you need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination, blood routine, vaginal discharge and gynecological examination. In particular, you need to understand the taboos before having an IUD inserted, such as whether you have had multiple abortions or have had an abortion recently, or whether you have been taking contraceptives for a long time.

2. You need to take a shower the day before the IUD is inserted, clean your vulva on the day of the operation, and bring necessities such as sanitary napkins and panty liners.

3. You should avoid sexual intercourse and bathing in a tub a few days before the insertion of the IUD to avoid symptoms of infection.

4. Measure vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, etc. Those with abnormalities shall not be allowed to remain in the room. Body temperature must not exceed 37.5℃.

5. If you have any questions before having an IUD inserted, you can consult a doctor.
