Which is the best birth control ring?

There are many different types of IUDs depending on their materials and shapes. This makes many female friends very distressed when choosing an IUD. They don’t know which IUD is the best. After all, when placing something in our bodies, we generally want to choose the best to avoid it having adverse effects on our bodies. So which birth control ring is the best?

1. Copper intrauterine contraceptive ring: It is the most widely used type of active intrauterine device, which uses the killing effect of copper on sperm or fertilized eggs to enhance the contraceptive effect of the ring.

2. Inert intrauterine contraceptive ring: made of stainless steel wire or plastic, silicone, such as metal single ring, twisted ring and stainless steel uterine ring.

3. Intrauterine contraceptive ring that releases hemostatic drugs: It can effectively control the increase in menstrual volume after the placement of the intrauterine contraceptive device.

4. Progestin-releasing intrauterine contraceptive device: The progestin contained in the intrauterine contraceptive device is slowly and steadily released into the uterine cavity, which improves the contraceptive effect and can significantly reduce bleeding.

Newer types include: Jinny ring, mother-of-love ring and fancy ring. However, the commonly used IUDs at home and abroad are as follows:

1. Silicone rubber with steel V-shaped contraceptive ring: The advantage is that its shape is consistent with the uterine cavity, and the copper wire is evenly distributed in the implantation area of ​​the uterine cavity, which can enhance the contraceptive effect and has a good effect, but there is a little more spotting or irregular bleeding. It can be stored for 5 to 8 years.

2. Multi-load copper-containing IUD: Introduced from the Netherlands, my country already has a joint venture to produce it. It is easy to place, follow up and remove, has good clinical effects, and can be expected to be placed for 3 to 5 years.

3. Active gold single ring 165 and copper high support ring: The placement and removal technology of this ring is similar to that of the gold single ring, but because the stainless steel wire of the ring is thicker, it is not easy to deform and fall off, and the copper wire spring is the active substance. It contains anti-inflammatory pain to reduce its side effects, so the clinical effect is better and it is expected to be placed for more than 10 years.

In fact, no matter which type of IUD is the best, women can only protect their bodies from bacterial infection by taking relevant care measures after the IUD is placed. In particular, they must refrain from sexual intercourse, and use running water to wash the vulva every day to ensure that the vulva is clean and hygienic, and tub baths are prohibited.
