What should I pay attention to after applying the ring?
To achieve long-term contraception, you can choose an intrauterine device, which is commonly known as an intrauterine device. Once placed in the uterine cavity, it can prevent pregnancy for many years. It is a safe, effective, simple and economical reversible birth control method.
So, after getting the ring, will it be done once and for all? After Xiao Zhang put on the IUD, her menstrual flow increased and her menstrual period became longer at first. However, her period has not come recently. When she went to the hospital for X-ray and ultrasound examination, she found that the IUD was gone and she was pregnant. This is mainly due to the fact that the size and shape of the IUD does not match the uterine cavity, or the support of the material is not enough, and the contraction of the uterus expels it from the body. When the doctor inserted the IUD for her again, he switched to an IUD that was more suitable for the shape of the uterine cavity or a larger size. He also repeatedly told her that she needed to rest for 3 days after the operation, not to do heavy physical work for 1 week, and not to sit for 2 weeks. You should pay attention to whether the IUD has fallen off during bathing, sexual intercourse, defecation or menstrual period within 3 months, and follow up regularly within one year to see if the IUD is in place.
If the ring falls off, it will cause pregnancy. So, will wearing the ring cause pregnancy? Of course, this is closely related to the size, position and ectopic position of the ring. Therefore, it is usually appropriate to place it 3 to 7 days after menstruation. At other times, it must be placed after pregnancy has been ruled out. Those who have had a pregnancy with an IUD should switch to a copper IUD, which can affect sperm function and thus enhance the contraceptive effect.
Of course, after the ring is installed, it will not remain unchanged. Look at Xiao Li, when she was about to have an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging, the radiologist asked her to go to the gynecology department to remove the ring first and then do the magnetic resonance examination to prevent the metal from affecting the image quality. And so on, what other situations require ring removal? Those whose placement period has expired and need to be replaced; those whose side effects or complications are ineffective in drug treatment; those who plan to have another child; those who switch to other contraceptive methods or sterilization; those who have had menopause for more than one year.
In any case, for pre-menopausal women, the appropriate time to remove the IUD is 3 to 7 days after menstruation is clear, and it is necessary to know whether the IUD is still in the uterine cavity and its type before the operation. Those who have difficulty removing the ring may even have to do so under X-ray or ultrasound surveillance. You need to rest for 1 to 2 days after surgery, and avoid sexual intercourse and bathing in the bath for 2 weeks.
