Types of IUDs

For many families who have already given birth, how to prevent pregnancy is a very critical issue between couples, and many male friends are unwilling to take contraceptive measures. Women taking birth control pills will also have a certain impact on the body's endocrine system. Therefore, the IUD is the most common contraceptive method for women who have given birth. And if you use an IUD for contraception, it's the best way to achieve the best results!

Another great advantage of the IUD is that it can be removed at any time. For families who continue to want to have a baby, they only need to remove the IUD and they can continue to have children. With the development of technology, there are now many different types of IUDs.

Experts say that it needs to be decided based on one's actual situation. There are many types of contraceptive rings at present, but they are generally divided into: inert contraceptive rings or inactive contraceptive rings and active contraceptive rings. As for which one is better, you need to understand it through the following.

The inactive contraceptive ring is a first generation product. Most of them are made of stainless steel wire or plastic, such as stainless steel single ring (also known as round ring), double ring, twist ring, palace-shaped ring, etc.; plastic contraceptive flowers, coil rings, eugenics rings and mixed rings made of metal and plastic. This type of contraceptive ring was used the earliest and most widely in my country, and the main one currently used is still a single stainless steel ring. Their disadvantages are a higher rate of shedding and pregnancy with the ring.

The active contraceptive ring is a second-generation product developed in the 1970s. Most of them are made of plastic or silicone rubber. Copper wire is wrapped around it or progesterone is put in it, so it is also called a copper or progesterone contraceptive ring. In addition to the contraceptive properties of the first-generation products, this type of product also affects the internal environment of the uterine cavity by slowly releasing copper ions or progesterone to improve the contraceptive effect.

Intrauterine contraceptive ring has high contraceptive efficiency and good safety, and is a commonly used contraceptive method for women after childbearing. However, contraceptive rings still have some side effects, such as uterine perforation, excessive menstrual flow or ectopic pregnancy, etc. Therefore, women who use contraceptive rings for contraception need to pay more attention and seek medical attention immediately if they find themselves feeling unwell.

The above are all types of IUDs. If you want to wear an IUD, you must pay attention that you can have the IUD insertion surgery within 3-7 days after the menstruation is over. The surgery is not allowed at other time periods. And you must ensure that you do not have sexual intercourse before inserting the ring to avoid bacterial infection and gynecological inflammation.
