Six major sequelae of postpartum contraceptive rings should not be ignored

Although the IUD is not as harmful as we imagined, it is still a piece of metal inserted into the body. Moreover, no medical measure is perfect and without any harm. Therefore, many women will experience abnormal physiological reactions for a period of time after having an IUD inserted, such as irregular menstruation, increased vaginal discharge, or back pain. How should we deal with these abnormal phenomena?

Increased vaginal discharge:

Due to changes in uterine fluid and cervical mucus, the secretion of leucorrhea may increase. After excluding the possibility of infection, generally no treatment is required and the swelling will subside on its own.

Uterine perforation:

With the improvement of the shape and quality of current contraceptive devices, complications of uterine perforation are relatively rare and are generally caused by technical problems of the operator. It is recommended that women who want to have an IUD inserted must go to a regular hospital.

Pregnancy with an IUD:

This means that the IUD has failed to prevent pregnancy. Domestic and foreign data show that the incidence of pregnancy with the device is 1%-3%, and contraceptive failure is related to the type of contraceptive device selected, the displacement of the device, the copper ion concentration of the copper contraceptive device, etc. Currently, the recognized contraceptive devices with lower failure rates are TCu380 and (LNG) IUD.

Infect:

2-3 days after the placement or removal of the IUD, you may experience dull pain in the lower abdomen which may gradually intensify. If accompanied by an increase in body temperature, you should consider the possibility of infection. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner. Most infections are caused by improper operation or lack of hygiene after placement. It is recommended that women undergoing IUD placement or removal should pay attention to rest and pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum.

Menstrual abnormalities:

Contraceptive devices with higher support force or wider contact area with the endometrium can easily damage the endometrium and cause bleeding, which manifests as excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation. Generally, the symptoms can be relieved within 3 months. It is also recommended to go to the hospital for regular check-ups. If the bleeding time is prolonged, antibiotics can be added to prevent infection.

pain:

Within 10 days after placement, symptoms similar to dysmenorrhea may occur due to foreign objects stimulating uterine contraction. Generally, they will gradually improve in about a month. If necessary, you can take painkillers for symptomatic treatment.
