What to do if you get pregnant unexpectedly

In daily life, many women will encounter a phenomenon, that is, even if they have an IUD, they may still have the problem of accidental pregnancy. In this case, getting pregnant will bring adverse effects. Therefore, if you get pregnant at this time, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and use the doctor's advice to effectively help yourself solve this problem. So now let's take a detailed look at the solution to pregnancy other than IUD.

Because we do not have a more professional and scientific understanding of this aspect, we must not treat it lightly when we encounter this phenomenon in life, and we must not make decisions on our own. Doing so will only affect our own health and may cause adverse harm to the fetus.

The IUD is a commonly used contraceptive method and is favored by many women due to its simplicity and safety. However, IUDs are not absolutely safe. Accidents may happen, resulting in pregnancy while wearing the IUD. So what should we do? Let's listen to what the hospital's gynecologist has to say.

A small number of people do get pregnant with an IUD inserted. The reason may be that the ring size is too small or the ring position has dropped so that it cannot hinder the development of the fertilized egg. In the past, it was believed that although the IUD and the fetus were in the same uterine cavity, the fetus was wrapped by the fetal membrane and protected by amniotic fluid. The IUD was outside the fetal membrane and did not come into direct contact with the fetus, so it would not affect the fetal development.

, you can carry the pregnancy to full term with the ring, and the ring will be expelled along with the placenta during delivery.

However, a large number of observations at home and abroad over the years have shown that the incidence of complications such as miscarriage, premature birth, early placental abruption, infection and bleeding is relatively high after pregnancy with an IUD. There are also individual reports of the IUD entering the fetal membrane and growing onto the fetal body, or of the IUD being wrapped around the fetus' neck, causing intrauterine fetal death. Therefore, it is now advocated that if a woman becomes pregnant with an IUD, she should have an artificial abortion as soon as possible.

According to incomplete statistics, there is still about 3%-4% chance of pregnancy after IUD insertion. Since the IUD will affect the fertilized egg's settlement, once pregnancy occurs, the fertilized egg is likely to settle outside the uterine cavity (common locations are the fallopian tubes and ovaries), which is an ectopic pregnancy.

Therefore, you should be especially vigilant if you experience abnormal conditions such as vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain after becoming pregnant with an IUD. Even if your period is not overdue, you must seek medical attention in a timely manner. These abnormal conditions must not be taken lightly as side effects of having an IUD.

The hospital's gynecologist said that you should rest adequately after insertion and avoid walking long distances or doing heavy work such as squatting or carrying heavy objects on the day of insertion, so as to avoid causing excessive intra-abdominal pressure and easily squeezing out the intrauterine contraceptive device. Do not have sexual intercourse within half a month after placement, as sexual intercourse can easily cause uterine contractions. In the early stages of placement, be careful to prevent the ring from falling off. Care must be taken when inserting it into a sanitary pad, basin, or toilet, especially when the menstrual flow is heavy, and during the first menstrual period.

The above is an introduction to some methods of preventing accidental pregnancy after IUD insertion. I hope that from these introductions everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of this and learn more about these contraceptive health care common sense, so as to better reduce possible accidents and better ensure their own health.
