How to use the contraceptive ring

Contraception is no longer a taboo for people to discuss. For many people, how to use contraception has become a very important part of life. The contraceptive IUD is something that many mothers are familiar with. When we were very young, we heard that in order to implement the family planning task, women who have given birth must have an IUD inserted, otherwise they will be fined hugely. Therefore, for them, it is very important to have an IUD inserted. We all know that inserting an IUD into a woman's body is very effective for contraception. So how do we use an IUD?

An IUD is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity. Since the devices used in the early days were mostly ring-shaped, they are usually called contraceptive rings.

The IUD has less interference to the whole body, acts locally, and does not affect fertility after removal. It has the advantages of being safe, effective, reversible, simple, and economical, and is one of the most commonly used contraceptive devices. More than 40% of people in my country use intrauterine contraceptive rings, and the effectiveness is about 90%.

Directions:

The vaginal contraceptive ring is very simple to use. For first-time users, the medical staff will place it in the deepest part of the vagina (posterior fornix of the vagina) on the 5th day of menstruation.

The front and back walls of the vagina are usually in close contact, so vaginal contraceptive rings are generally not easy to fall out deep in the vagina. However, users should go to the hospital for regular check-ups and learn to check and correct the position of the ring by themselves under the guidance of medical staff.

It is best to insert the IUD 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. If an IUD is inserted after an artificial abortion, the depth of the uterine cavity should be controlled to be less than 10 cm. The IUD should be placed during lactation at least 3 months after delivery, and 6 months after cesarean section. If it is a spontaneous abortion, it would be appropriate to resume normal menstruation at least once.

How to use the contraceptive IUD? After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone’s understanding of the contraceptive IUD has deepened. The contraceptive ring has good contraceptive effect and very few side effects for women. However, you cannot use it by yourself. Therefore, in such a situation, it is best to go to a regular hospital to have an IUD inserted. This is the best way for female friends to take care of themselves.
