What are the contraceptive methods of intrauterine device

Many of us know that intrauterine devices are a contraceptive measure, but we don’t know much about their functions and how to wear them. Generally speaking, intrauterine devices are made of plastic or metal. Because people's uterine conditions are different, there are many types of contraceptive rings, but you must pay attention to some methods when inserting the ring, otherwise it is easy to cause discomfort.

After the contraceptive ring is placed, it usually takes effect within the same month. However, a small number of women are prone to having the IUD fall off and become pregnant after wearing it, so doctors will instruct them to pay attention to whether the IUD falls off one to three months after wearing it, and to have regular check-ups on time to ensure safe contraception.

After a woman wears the IUD, her initial menstrual period may be extended by two to three days, and her menstrual flow may also be slightly heavier. Some women experience abdominal discomfort or menstrual pain. This is an initial maladaptive reaction. However, some women may experience a significant increase in menstrual flow, a small amount of bleeding outside of their period, and obvious abdominal pain. If these symptoms persist, they should return to the hospital for examination.

Women with IUDs should have the IUD removed within one year after menopause to avoid the IUD becoming lodged in the uterus after menopause and the foreign body stimulation caused by the IUD on the gradually shrinking uterus.

Sometimes some people may experience various discomforts after the placement of the contraceptive ring, such as mild abdominal pain and back pain, but generally they will improve within a few weeks. Therefore, women must pay attention to their body reactions after placement. If the discomfort persists, go to the hospital for examination and treatment this morning.
