The process of inserting the contraceptive ring

Most people do not understand the contraceptive ring and therefore dare not try it. This is a suitable option for married women with children. Placing it in the uterus after giving birth will not affect breastfeeding. It can be used until menopause. Some women feel that placing it in the uterus will cause excessive menstruation and take it out early. The contraceptive rate of this contraceptive ring is as high as 99%. If you want to have a contraceptive ring installed, you can go to the hospital to consult a doctor about a week after the end of your period.

1 The scientific name of the "ring" is intrauterine device, which is placed in the uterine cavity of women of childbearing age to achieve the purpose of contraception through mechanical stimulation and interference of chemical substances. It does not inhibit ovulation and does not affect the female endocrine system, thus avoiding the adverse reactions of general drug contraceptives.

2 Commonly used ones in China include metal single ring, twisted ring, mixed ring, contraceptive ring, T-shaped ring, etc., but the metal single ring is the most common. An IUD without medicine is called an inert intrauterine contraceptive device. If an intrauterine contraceptive device is added with progestin or copper, the contraceptive effect can be improved, which is called a medicated or active intrauterine contraceptive device. It is the most popular type of contraceptive device currently.

3How is the IUD inserted and removed? It's very simple. First, the doctor will disinfect the ring, then use the "ring delivery device" to send the contraceptive ring into the uterus, remove the "ring delivery device" and shorten the nylon string tied to the contraceptive ring to complete the placement.

Things to note after IUD placement:

(1) Remember the type of IUD and whether it has a tail thread. This will be very helpful for future follow-up.

(2) To avoid infection, do not have sexual intercourse for two weeks after the IUD is inserted or during vaginal bleeding, and avoid heavy physical labor or excessive fatigue. You can shower as usual after surgery, but do not bathe in a tub or sit in a tub.

(3) During the first three months of menstruation after insertion, especially when the menstrual flow is heavy, pay attention to whether the IUD has fallen off.

(4) Within one week after IUD placement, you may experience mild discomfort in the lower abdomen, heaviness, and back pain. These are normal reactions and generally do not require treatment.

I hope the above can give you a reference. If you feel uncomfortable after the contraceptive ring is placed in the uterus, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. There will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding at the beginning. Don't be anxious. This is a normal phenomenon. You should suspend sexual life and rest for a few days after it is placed in the uterus. Eat less spicy food during these days. As for the problem of excessive menstrual bleeding, you can consult a doctor to find out the cause and adjust the contraceptive ring.
