Can IUD be used for emergency contraception?

IUD insertion is a relatively common contraceptive measure, but it cannot be used for emergency contraception. The contraceptive effect is very high after the IUD is inserted, but having sex without the IUD will not achieve the contraceptive effect. I hope everyone can understand the emergency contraceptive measures clearly, because emergency contraception can cause great harm to the body. If you do not want to get pregnant, it is best to take contraceptive measures, such as using condoms.

Can I still use contraception if I have already had an IUD inserted?

Since you have already had an IUD inserted, you don’t have to worry, the contraceptive effect is very good. "IUD insertion" is the most common long-term contraceptive measure that women are forced to choose. Often an IUD can be placed in the body for more than ten years. The scientific name of the "IUD" is intrauterine contraceptive device, which is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity. The contraceptive principle is mainly to achieve the purpose of contraception by causing aseptic inflammation in the uterus. This method is particularly suitable for women who have given birth to one child. Women who have had an abortion can also choose this method. More than 40% of people in my country use intrauterine contraceptive rings, and the effectiveness is about 90%.

Which women are suitable for IUD?

All married, healthy women of childbearing age who want contraception, have regular menstruation, normal genitals, and are qualified by a doctor can have an intrauterine device placed. It is especially suitable for:

1. Those who are not suitable for other contraceptive methods, such as those who cannot use external medication devices consistently or those who easily miss doses of medication.

2. People who cannot take birth control pills due to high blood pressure or severe headaches.

3. Those who are breastfeeding.

4. Those who have had good results with IUD placement.

The contraceptive ring is very scientifically based and effective, and has been recognized by many friends. Therefore, female friends who do not plan to have a baby can feel free to get an IUD and not worry too much about its effectiveness. Although there are many contraceptive methods now, some female friends are not suitable for other contraceptive methods, so in comparison, it is a better idea to consider having an IUD.
