Disadvantages of wearing an IUD

In the life of a couple, what everyone is most concerned about is the issue of contraception. An unexpected pregnancy and abortion can cause great harm to the female uterus. Not only may it cause miscarriage, but it may also cause other gynecological diseases, seriously affecting women's health. However, there are many contraceptive methods available for everyone to choose from. IUD insertion is a very common contraceptive method, but there are advantages and disadvantages to wearing an IUD for contraception.

What are the disadvantages of wearing an IUD?

Intrauterine surgeries such as placement or removal of contraceptive rings may cause inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, but there is no need to worry too much. The occurrence of inflammation is mainly due to preoperative sexual life, lax surgical disinfection, or improper selection of preoperative indications. The reproductive tract already has chronic inflammation, which is caused by acute attacks and spreads through surgical interference. Even hysteroscopy may cause inflammation.

Who is not suitable for contraceptive ring placement?

1. For patients with endometritis, if they really need to wear an IUD, they should wait until the inflammation disappears before having it inserted.

2. For those who have had a cesarean section less than six months ago, they need to wait until the uterus recovers before putting on the IUD.

3. It is not suitable for breastfeeding women. Because the uterus of a breastfeeding woman is softer, the probe can easily penetrate the uterine wall when the IUD is worn. Therefore, breastfeeding women should try to wait until after breastfeeding to have the IUD inserted.

4. Patients with genital tumors.

5. People with irregular menstruation or heavy menstrual flow are not suitable for wearing the IUD.

It should be noted that since everyone's physique and uterus size are different, women who want to wear a contraceptive ring must go to a regular hospital for a check-up before wearing the ring to see if they are suitable for the ring and what type of contraceptive ring is suitable, and then choose a contraceptive ring that suits their uterus. Otherwise, not only will it fail to achieve the contraceptive effect, but it will also bring you unnecessary troubles due to unexpected pregnancy.

Which type of contraceptive ring is better?

There are many kinds of materials used to make contraceptive rings, such as copper or drug-containing IUDs, and the support materials are plastic, polyethylene, memory alloy, etc. And the shapes are also varied, including round, T-shaped, V-shaped, Y-shaped and chain-shaped. In fact, different women have different physiques, and no ring is 100% suitable for everyone. Every woman will have different reactions after the ring is inserted. You should decide which contraceptive ring is suitable for you based on the shape and size of your uterus. The better and more expensive the contraceptive ring is, the more suitable it is for you. You should consult a doctor before placing a contraceptive ring.
