The contraceptive ring does not claim to be better than the others, only that it is more suitable for you.
Because the size of a woman's uterus varies, so do the contraceptive rings that are suitable for her.
Currently, there are mainly three types of intrauterine devices: copper intrauterine devices, inert intrauterine devices, and intrauterine devices that release progestogens.
The contraceptive ring is essentially a long-term, mild form of abortion. Many Chinese women opt for this method of contraception.
What is the best contraceptive ring? Currently, there are several types of contraceptive rings: 1. Copper intrauterine device (IUD), which belongs to the active IUD, and is widely used. It works by killing sperm or fertilized eggs through copper to enhance the effectiveness of contraception.
2. Inertial intrauterine device: It is mainly made of stainless steel wire or plastic, silica gel, etc., such as metal single ring, twisting ring and stainless steel shape ring.
3. Release of progesterone intrauterine device: This contraceptive ring releases progesterone from inside the ring to the uterus slowly and steadily, which can reduce bleeding.
4. Release the intrauterine device containing an anti-thrombotic drug.
The foreign body effect of the contraceptive ring can cause endometrial inflammation, thereby affecting the implantation of fertilized eggs.
An intrauterine device containing progesterone can release a small amount of progesterone into the uterine cavity over a long period, causing endometrial atrophy and making it less favorable for the implantation of fertilized eggs.
The contraceptive ring does not claim to be better than the others; it only states that it is more suitable for you.
Because the size of each woman's uterus varies, so does the contraceptive ring that is suitable for her.
The principle of the contraceptive ring is essentially a long-term, gentle form of "Palace abortion". Many women in China opt for this method of contraception.
The contraceptive principle of the IUD is to continuously scrape the uterine lining, causing sterilization of the uterus and preventing normal implantation of the embryo, thus preventing pregnancy. This results in miscarriage and achieves the purpose of contraception.
This is the basic mechanical effect of the contraceptive ring.
Additionally, there are roles of phagocytic cells, inflammatory cells, prostaglandins, and active substances.
The function of phagocytes is mainly that of macrophages and neutrophils, which engulf and destroy sperm.
The role of inflammatory cells refers to the event whereby the concentration of degradative substances produced by inflammatory cells reaches a certain level, preventing embryonic development.
The function of the prostate is to stimulate the endometrium in the uterus by means of the contraceptive ring, causing abnormal contractions and movements of the uterine and fallopian tubes. At the same time, it enhances the action of estrogen, making the intrauterine environment unfavorable for implantation.
The active substance acts through local changes in the endometrial and uterine fluid environment, as well as its toxic effects on sperm.
Is the contraceptive ring effective? The intrauterine device is a relatively long-term method of contraception, and another advantage is that there is no need to undergo repeated hospital procedures for abortion.
The contraceptive ring can be used for a long time and is safe without significant side effects. However, does getting an intrauterine device truly prevent pregnancy? Is it guaranteed that the IUD will not cause pregnancy? The abortion surgery is a major surgical procedure for women that can inadvertently damage the underlying layer of the uterine endometrium, making it difficult for the uterine lining to regenerate.
The upper layer of the endometrium is shed and excreted from the body during menstruation in women every month, and then the cells in the basal layer of the endometrium divide and grow back into the endometrium
However, the harm caused by intrauterine devices to women cannot be ignored
During menstruation, the upper layer of the uterine lining sheds off. The contraceptive ring directly mechanically scrapes or copper ions produce cytotoxic effects on cells, damaging the underlying uterine lining base. This causes fibrotic changes in the uterine lining.
Moreover, women who undergo the IUD procedure typically experience numerous adverse reactions, including lower back pain, lumbar discomfort, vaginal spotting, prolonged menstrual periods, and an increase in vaginal discharge. These symptoms often require time to adapt to.
The side effects of the contraceptive ring include some potential adverse reactions.
The most common symptoms are back pain and soreness, while a minority of women experience lower abdominal pain.
If you're wearing a contraceptive ring with a tail, it could potentially cause an increase in vaginal discharge, or the amount of cervical secretions significantly increases.
After some time, there may still be symptoms such as fever and lower abdominal pain. If these occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
The occurrence of bleeding after the insertion of an IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a relatively common side effect.
Bleeding is generally observed within 3 to 4 days after the insertion of the intrauterine device (IUD), and most women experience this phenomenon lasting approximately one week.
Bleeding is caused by damage to the endometrium due to the IUD, and generally does not require treatment and will self-resolve.
However, if there is prolonged bleeding, it is also necessary to seek timely medical attention at the hospital.
Increased menstrual flow is a symptom of bleeding during the early stage of intrauterine device (IUD) insertion, and women's menstrual periods may also be prolonged as a result.
This is also caused by damage to the endometrium
In rare cases, there may be uterine perforation, damage to other organs, and fibrosis of ectopic pregnancy
If the contraceptive implant is inserted prematurely, there may be an infection.
So after getting an IUD, women should pay attention to personal hygiene.
Precautions for using a contraceptive ring: After using a contraceptive ring, it is not the end, there are still many things to pay attention to.
Firstly, women who have just undergone an uterine ring should pay attention to adequate rest and avoid engaging in strenuous physical labor.
Rest for at least one or two days to avoid the risk of the ring falling off and bleeding.
If there are symptoms of bleeding, such as excessive vaginal bleeding exceeding menstrual flow and prolonged bleeding, it is necessary to seek medical examination promptly.
Pay special attention to whether the ring falls off during the first three months.
Generally, after the placement of a ring, regular examinations are required. The first check-up is conducted after the first menstrual period following the insertion of the ring, followed by checks every 3 to 6 months during the first year post-insertion and then annually thereafter.
Following the insertion of an IUD, there may be certain adverse reactions, including lower back pain and abdominal discomfort. If these symptoms are severe, it is not normal and should prompt a visit to the hospital for further examination.
Personal hygiene must be emphasized after the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD). It is important to clean the vulva properly, avoid sitting in a basin or bathing for 2 weeks, and refrain from sexual activity for 3 weeks to prevent infection.
Finally, it's about supplementing nutrition.
Eat more iron rich foods, including lean meat, pork liver, pork loin, as well as soy products, vegetables, and fruits
