The principle of the contraceptive ring, these common questions

After giving birth, women will choose IUDs for better contraception. Compared with birth control pills, IUDs are still very safe. There are many things to pay attention to when wearing IUDs. If you have gynecological inflammation and it is very serious, it is not suitable to wear an IUD.

1. The principle of the IUD: The IUD, also known as the contraceptive ring, is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity for a long time. On the one hand, placing the IUD can make the uterus produce cells that swallow sperm, and on the other hand, it can change the environment in the uterine cavity, destroy the survival and development conditions of the fertilized egg, and prevent the fertilized egg from developing into an embryo in the uterus, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception.

2. Which women are suitable for wearing IUDs? Healthy women with a history of childbearing who need long-term contraception, who have no serious or tumorous reproductive organs after examination, who have normal menstruation and no serious diseases can wear IUDs.

3. Which women are not suitable for wearing IUDs? Women with inflammation of reproductive organs: such as acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis patients, during the IUD insertion process, the inflammation is easy to spread or worsen; people with vaginitis, cervicitis, severe cervical erosion, there are bacteria in the vagina and cervix, when the IUD is inserted, it is easy to bring bacteria into the uterine cavity and cause infection. People with cervical lacerations, loose cervical openings, or severe uterine prolapse should not use the IUD as it may easily fall out during insertion. In addition, it is also not suitable for people with uterine malformations. People who have excessive or frequent menstruation, prolonged menstruation, or severe dysmenorrhea should not have the IUD inserted, as it can easily aggravate their symptoms. The uterus of women without a history of childbearing is more sensitive and the IUD is easy to fall off after insertion, so it is not advisable to use IUD for contraception.

4. Will the insertion of an IUD harm the uterus? Before inserting an IUD, the reproductive organs should be examined to make sure there is no inflammation before inserting the IUD. The surgical instruments used for examination and insertion of the IUD will be strictly sterilized, so it will not cause damage to the uterus. However, it should be noted that if the IUD is not sterilized strictly during insertion, or if the vulva is not kept clean after insertion, it may cause inflammation of the uterus, and cause adverse reactions such as persistent abdominal pain, fever, fatigue, vaginal bleeding, abnormal leucorrhea, and pain during sexual intercourse.
