What are the symptoms of an IUD growing into the flesh?

Many women choose to go to the hospital to get an IUD. This is a very effective method of contraception with a very high success rate. It can be said to be very convenient and reliable. It is precisely because of these reasons that many women choose this method of contraception. However, it should be reminded that the IUD has a time limit, generally 5 to 12 years, but some problems may arise in the process of wearing the IUD. For example, the IUD may grow into the flesh, at which time the body will experience some symptoms.

Symptoms of IUD growing into the flesh:

The IUD may cause adhesion to the endometrium or embedding into the uterine muscle layer. It can be removed by surgery. After removal, you should rest for one day, refrain from sexual intercourse within two weeks, and keep the area clean. The time to re-insert the IUD should be determined according to the actual situation.

As long as you have normal menstruation after the IUD is inserted, menstruation refers to the periodic shedding and bleeding of the endometrium that accompanies the periodic ovulation of the ovaries, so in this case the IUD will not grow into the flesh after insertion.

Suggestions: It is recommended that you go to the hospital regularly to check whether the position of the ring is normal after the insertion. The ring needs to be removed about one year after menopause. Otherwise, it may be difficult to remove the ring if the menopause period is long.

Normally, it will not grow in the flesh, because the human body has a rejection function, and it has a rejection function for things that are not its own, so it is wrapped in the flesh and cannot form a whole.

Suggestions: If this happens, remove the ring immediately. So as not to aggravate the risk of uterine perforation.

If the size of the IUD is too large, the insertion time is inappropriate, or the operation is incorrect, it will lead to "IUD incarceration", which is also known as: the IUD grows into the flesh. This kind of complication will occur, however, it is quite rare. Most women are only suitable for this method of contraception. For such a simple operation, professional gynecologists can generally perform it skillfully. As long as they understand the type of ring, the time of insertion, and operate more carefully, they can avoid incarceration. Therefore, you should choose to go to a regular hospital for contraception.

The length of time the IUD is inserted is certainly a factor in "ring incarceration", but it is not the main one. Generally speaking, a ring that will not get stuck will not get stuck no matter how long it takes, and a ring that will get stuck will not get stuck for long. The more important factor is that the ring is too large or deformed, and the operation when inserting the ring is not gentle, which causes damage to the uterine wall, inflammation and hyperplasia of the uterine wall tissue around the contraceptive ring, and grows across the contraceptive ring. After a long time, it grows into the ring. However, it is not like what people imagine that it cannot be removed once it grows into the ring. As long as you have regular checkups three months, six months, or one year after the operation, and once a year thereafter, you can detect the location of the ring early and remove it safely even if it becomes stuck.

Menopausal women should go to the hospital to remove the IUD six months after menopause, because the uterus of menopausal women is slowly shrinking. If the IUD is not removed in time, it is more likely to cause the phenomenon often known as "the IUD growing into the flesh". Therefore, as long as women with IUDs treat them correctly, this method of contraception is very simple and convenient.

So, there is no need to worry about the IUD growing into the flesh. However, when using IUDs, you should also be aware that they need to be replaced after a certain number of years. Especially for women in menopause, the ring can be removed directly. If the ring is worn for a long time, some side effects are inevitable.
