How to use IUD for contraception

In life, normal couples will use contraceptive measures. There are many general contraceptive methods, such as condoms, birth control pills, and subcutaneous contraceptive implants. Some married women with children will choose intrauterine contraceptive rings, which are long-term contraceptive measures, but sometimes they are not suitable for some women and may cause some adverse reactions.

Intrauterine contraceptive device, abbreviated as IUD, is an object placed in the uterus to achieve the purpose of contraception. IUDs work by accelerating the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes, reducing the chance of fertilization, and causing the endometrium to feel like a foreign body, producing chemical enzymes or copper ion reactions that prevent the fertilized egg from implanting. Basically, as long as you are sure you are not pregnant, you can install it at any time. But usually the time to install the device is to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department and ask for the doctor's help within one week after the end of menstruation. The IUD can achieve the contraceptive effect immediately after insertion. Some IUDs contain small amounts of hormones that can also treat menorrhagia.

The IUD is fairly effective at preventing pregnancy, with a 97% chance of success in the first year of use. However, it should not be used by women who suspect they are pregnant or who suspect they have cancer or uterine tumors. In addition, women with inflammation of the pelvic organs, cervix or vagina, unexplained vaginal or uterine bleeding, or heavy menstrual bleeding or severe menstrual pain are not suitable for an IUD. Generally speaking, it is not recommended for women who have not given birth to have an intrauterine contraceptive device installed to avoid adhesion and affect future pregnancy. IUDs are also not recommended for people with multiple sexual partners.

Therefore, through the above introduction we should also understand that some people should pay attention to some methods when using intrauterine contraceptive rings, but if it is for premarital contraception, it is recommended not to choose this method of contraception as much as possible. You can use contraceptive pills, wear condoms and other methods. If you want long-term contraception, you can use an intrauterine contraceptive ring within a few years, but you must pay attention to replacement.
