After the uterine ring is placed into the uterine cavity, it changes the environment in the uterine cavity, making it unfavorable for the implantation of the fertilized egg, affecting the motility of the sperm and the movement speed of the egg in the fallopian tube, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception. The effectiveness of contraception using an IUD is approximately 94-99%.

It is a long-acting contraceptive method with an effectiveness period ranging from one to several years. You can get pregnant again after the doctor removes the IUD. After inserting the ring, there is no need to do any preparation before sexual intercourse. Women who wear the ring will not feel the presence of the ring, so it is suitable for women who need regular contraception.

Women with genital malformations or tumors, dysmenorrhea or heavy menstrual flow, pelvic inflammatory disease, gonorrhea, multiple sexual partners, severe anemia, heart disease, or a history of ectopic pregnancy should not wear an intrauterine contraceptive device.
