What are the advantages and disadvantages of Sheung IUD?

There are many contraceptive methods around us at ordinary times. IUD insertion is a relatively simple and commonly used contraceptive measure. Through a minor operation, women can reduce the chance of pregnancy for a long time. Relatively speaking, it will cause less harm to the female body and generally will not produce particularly obvious side effects. However, some female friends may develop some diseases after the IUD insertion.

In general, not all women will experience adverse effects after having an IUD inserted. This depends on the individual's physical condition and the degree of error in the doctor's operation. The following 6 side effects of IUD insertion are what women may experience, one or more of them, or none of them may occur. Let’s take a look at the disadvantages of having an IUD.

1. Infection: IUD insertion can cause infection. When inserting an IUD, the doctor will strictly disinfect the woman's vulva, vagina and endometrium, and infection rarely occurs. Infection may occur in women who have a history of genital tract inflammation, or who have sex too early or too frequently after having an IUD inserted.

2. Bleeding: Most women will have a small amount of bleeding 3-4 days after the insertion of the IUD. This can stimulate the uterus to contract, and can also quickly scratch the cervical canal or endometrium and cause bleeding. Therefore, for some women, bleeding after IUD insertion generally does not require treatment and will heal on its own after a week. Occasionally, red discharge or small amounts of bleeding may occur, which can be stopped with general hemostasis.

3. Lower abdominal pain or back pain: A few women will have this feeling after the IUD is inserted. This is caused by the contraction of the uterus after the IUD is inserted. Sometimes it can also be caused by the IUD being too large or moved to the lower part of the uterus. Mild cases do not require treatment and will generally adapt gradually; severe cases can try indomethacin or other anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment; if symptoms persist, a suitable type of ring can be replaced; if B-ultrasound confirms that the contraceptive device has moved downward, the position of the ring can also be corrected.

4. Increased vaginal discharge: If a contraceptive ring with a tail thread is installed, it can also cause a significant increase in cervical secretions, that is, increased vaginal discharge. After a period of time, when the endometrial tissue has fully adapted, at this time, not only will the vaginal discharge increase significantly, but it will also be accompanied by systemic fever, lower abdominal pain and other discomforts. In this case, you need to urgently take anti-inflammatory drugs or go directly to the hospital.

Before getting an IUD, it is best for female friends to have a gynecological examination to see if there is any inflammation in the body. If there is any infection, these diseases should be treated promptly with medication. After the disease is cured, it is better to choose an IUD that suits you about 3 days after the next menstruation ends.
