What to do if the contraceptive ring is displaced

Many people who do not want to have children for a long time will choose long-term contraception. The contraceptive ring is a very good way of long-term contraception. However, contraceptive rings can also have abnormalities, the most common of which is displacement. In this case, the contraceptive effect will be ineffective, leading to an unexpected pregnancy. The solution is of greatest concern. So, what should I do if the contraceptive ring is displaced? Let’s take a look below.

Lower back pain and abdominal pain are one of the most common symptoms of IUD displacement. The downward movement of the contraceptive ring will affect sexual life, because the tail of the ring protrudes into the vagina from the cervix, or the tail thread of the ring is hard, the penis collides with the tail of the ring or the tail thread, causing pain during sexual intercourse. During sexual intercourse, the uterus contracts and the wife may also experience abdominal pain. If the ring is too large, uterine contractions will be painful and even cause vaginal bleeding.

If displacement occurs after the IUD is inserted, it can be reset by yourself if the situation is not too bad, but I personally recommend going to the hospital for an ultrasound examination in time and taking the IUD out of the body. There are many reasons for displacement, most of which are caused by improper selection of IUD. Intrauterine displacement is generally caused by a smaller ring size and a larger uterine cavity. When the uterine muscle layer moves, the IUD will shift. If the ring is displaced, it is generally caused by a larger ring size. When the uterine muscle layer moves, the IUD will damage the endometrium and myometrium, and it will cause perforation after a long time.

You should know that the shape of a woman's uterus is an inverted pear, and the uterine cavity is an inverted triangle. This shape will affect the uterus and change during movement. The uterine muscle layer shows periodic and segmental contractions. During the menstrual period, the upper part of the uterine fundus will contract, while the lower part will relax, making the triangle in the uterine cavity smaller. The opposite is true between two menstrual periods, making the uterine cavity larger. Therefore, you should choose an IUD with better elasticity to avoid or reduce the situation of ectopic ring.
