What should I do if I get pregnant with an IUD?

After the IUD is inserted, the contraceptive effect is generally very good, but there are also unexpected situations, such as the IUD falling off, or the female body itself is more repellent to the IUD, which may lead to pregnancy. Another situation may also cause ectopic pregnancy. Once pregnancy occurs, you can generally consider termination of pregnancy. If you really want a child at this time, you must get checked in time.

What to do if you get pregnant unexpectedly with an IUD

Generally speaking, because pregnancy at this time is prone to miscarriage and will affect the fetus, from the perspective of eugenics, artificial abortion must be performed as early as possible. The longer the pregnancy, the greater the harm to the body.

Pregnancy with an IUD is prone to miscarriage, premature birth, and even affects fetal development, and in some cases causes fetal defects. From the perspective of eugenics, a fetus conceived with an IUD is not worth keeping and an abortion should be performed as early as possible. The longer the pregnancy, the greater the harm of an abortion to the body. Generally, many women choose painless artificial abortion to terminate their pregnancy. The whole process is painless, has no effect on future fertility, and does not affect daily work after the operation.

The reason for pregnancy after IUD insertion may be that the contraceptive ring has fallen off but the person is not aware of it. This is the most common cause of contraceptive failure. The contraceptive ring is placed low, close to the cervical opening, and does not inhibit the implantation and development of the fertilized egg. The size of the contraceptive ring is not suitable for the size of the uterine cavity, or the contraceptive ring has been deformed or even broken, and has lost its contraceptive effect.

Things to note before having an IUD inserted

1. Generally speaking, if female friends are going to have an IUD surgery, they should strictly refrain from sexual intercourse 3 days before the surgery and within 2 weeks after the surgery to avoid the risk of infection.

2. Pay attention to vaginal hygiene before inserting the IUD. Do not take a bath before inserting the IUD to avoid uterine cavity infection and other conditions.

3. Before inserting the IUD, you should pay attention to choosing the best time to insert it. It is best to insert the IUD 3-7 days after the menstruation is over, because this period is a safe period, the endometrium has just begun to form, and the possibility of pregnancy is small. Therefore, you can avoid inserting the IUD while pregnant, which may cause uterine bleeding or miscarriage.

4. If there are no symptoms when the contraceptive ring expires, you can replace it with a new one at the same time to avoid two operations.

5. When a woman has an IUD inserted while having an abortion, the cervix is ​​loose, making it easier to insert the IUD and avoiding two operations.

6. After a miscarriage, if you have had your period once, or three months after a full-term birth, or more than six months after a caesarean section, you can have an IUD inserted.

7. Before inserting the IUD, gynecological inflammation should be checked and treated to avoid affecting the operation.

The above is a detailed introduction to the issues that need to be paid attention to before having an IUD inserted. Female friends should try to choose a regular gynecological hospital for surgery to avoid surgical accidents.
