Is it good or bad to have a ring?

Nowadays, many people choose to have an IUD installed. In fact, this method is better, but there are certain side effects. People should still consider their own bodies before getting an IUD installed. Sometimes, if the IUD is installed improperly, it will cause serious damage to other organs, and even cause uterine perforation, which is a more dangerous situation.

Uterine perforation

The mechanism by which IUD insertion causes uterine perforation is not clear. It is generally believed that it may be caused by the inappropriate size of the uterus or improper operation by the doctor. In addition, when women exercise vigorously, the IUD in their body may cause damage to the uterus due to its sharp shape and physical inertia. Unexplained uterine contractions may also squeeze the IUD and cause uterine perforation.

Damage to other organs

In rare cases, the IUD may perforate the uterus and enter the abdominal cavity, causing the IUD to become dislocated. The IUD may be ectopically located in the bladder, pelvis, or mesentery.

Excessive menstrual flow

Some intrauterine contraceptive devices contain copper ions, which are cytotoxic and hemolytic, causing excessive menstrual flow and non-clotting bleeding. This is a normal phenomenon.

Ectopic pregnancy

If the embryo implants in the fallopian tube and does not reach the uterus, the result is an ectopic pregnancy. The contraceptive principle of the intrauterine device is to change the environment inside the uterus to cause miscarriage. It only works locally in the uterus, so it can only prevent normal pregnancy in the uterus, but cannot prevent ectopic pregnancy.

Fibrotic lesions

Intrauterine devices are essentially foreign objects inside the human body. It is common medical knowledge that foreign bodies in the human body can cause mechanical damage to local tissues, chronic inflammation, and fibrotic lesions. Ten to twelve years after the IUD is inserted, fibrosis will occur in the endometrium.

After the contraceptive ring is placed in the uterine cavity, due to its special local effect, it can cause the endometrium to produce a wonderful non-bacterial inflammatory reaction, thereby interfering with the combination of sperm and egg and the implantation, development and growth of the fertilized egg in the endometrium, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception. Of course, the IUD cannot be fixed after it is inserted. In addition, if some complications arise due to the IUD, you can consider removing the IUD after conservative treatment is ineffective. When the IUD's expiration date is reached or when menopause occurs, the IUD should be removed in time.
