Precautions for intrauterine contraceptive ring placement

What are the precautions for intrauterine contraceptive ring placement? For couples, although there are many methods of contraception, the most convenient and least troublesome method is to insert an intrauterine contraceptive device. After the intrauterine contraceptive device is inserted, women only need to ensure that the intrauterine contraceptive device does not fall off to play the role of contraception. However, for women who want to have an intrauterine contraceptive device placed, they must pay attention to the following matters to see if they are suitable for having an intrauterine contraceptive device placed.

First of all, women with acute pelvic inflammatory disease, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, excessive or irregular menstrual bleeding, uterine fibroids, and a narrow cervix; women with serious systemic diseases should not have the ring inserted, otherwise it will lead to worsening inflammation and increased menstrual flow.

Secondly, although the operation of IUD insertion is simple and safe, it is a surgical operation after all. In order to avoid infection, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited 3 days before the operation and within two weeks after the operation. Pay attention to vaginal hygiene and do not take a bath in a tub after the IUD is placed to avoid uterine cavity infection. You should rest for 1 to 2 days after the operation and avoid heavy physical labor or strenuous activities within a week, because the cervix will be loose right after the ring is inserted and the ring may fall off easily.

After the intrauterine contraceptive ring is placed, care must be taken to prevent it from falling off. Cervical laceration does not affect the upper contraceptive ring at the bottom of the uterus and has little to do with this, but it is important to pay attention to follow-up checks to prevent the possibility of the ring falling off. For women with loose cervix and heavy menstrual flow, the IUD may fall off during menstruation, so when going to the toilet during menstruation, you should pay attention to whether the ring falls out with the blood.

Generally, you should go to the hospital for a check-up once in the first month after the menstruation ends, and again after 3 months. You can have a follow-up check every 1 to 2 years. Within 3 months after the ring is inserted, especially during menstruation, you should pay more attention to whether the ring falls off. If you find it falls off, take other contraceptive measures in time and go to the hospital to insert the ring again after the next menstruation.

This article introduces the precautions for intrauterine contraceptive device placement. In addition, women who have had an intrauterine contraceptive device inserted are reminded that if you have had the device in place for more than 5 years, it is recommended that you replace it with a new one in time. If you have reached menopausal age and have been in menopause for more than half a year, it is also recommended that you remove the intrauterine contraceptive device.
