What types of birth control rings are there

For some couples who have always wanted to use contraception, although birth control pills are very effective, they are not a permanent solution after all, and they also have certain harms to women's physical health. So many people choose the IUD. If, many hospitals can perform IUD surgery, and it will not cause any harm to the human body. But do you know what types of IUDs there are?

An IUD is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity. Since the devices used in the early days were mostly ring-shaped, they are usually called contraceptive rings. There are many types of intrauterine contraceptive devices. The commonly used ones in China include metal single ring, twisted ring, mixed ring, contraceptive ring, T-shaped ring, etc., but the metal single ring is the most common.

The intrauterine device, also known as the contraceptive ring, is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity. It is usually made of stainless steel, plastic, silicone rubber and other materials. A contraceptive device without medicine is called an inert intrauterine device. If an intrauterine device is added with progesterone or copper, the contraceptive effect can be improved. It is called a medicated or active intrauterine device, which is the most recommended type of contraceptive device at present.

The IUD has less interference to the whole body, acts locally, and does not affect fertility after removal. It has the advantages of being safe, effective, reversible, simple, and economical, and is one of the most commonly used contraceptive devices. More than 40% of people in my country use intrauterine contraceptive rings, and the effectiveness is about 90%.

"IUD insertion" is the most commonly used long-term contraceptive measure for Chinese women of childbearing age. Often an IUD can be left in the body for more than ten years.

The contraceptive device is placed in the uterine cavity of women of childbearing age, and achieves the purpose of abortion and contraception through mechanical stimulation and interference of chemical substances. It does not inhibit ovulation and does not affect the female endocrine system, thus avoiding the adverse reactions of general drug contraceptives. After years of practical improvement, most of the IUDs currently used in clinical practice are copper-containing or drug-containing IUDs. The stent materials are plastic, polyethylene, memory alloy, etc., and the shapes are not single, including round, T-shaped, V-shaped, Y-shaped and chain-shaped. IUDs made of different materials and in different shapes have their own characteristics, and therefore can be suitable for women with different physiques and needs.
