Do you know what type of intrauterine device is right for you? For most women in their reproductive years, the first choice is a copper-containing T "loop" or new body 380 "loop."
T "ring" is low in cost, effective contraceptive, the ring body composed of plastic support and copper wire.
This "loop" is due to the large amount of copper content, plastic support has a slight lower flexibility, so postoperative bleeding and abdominal pain side effect slightly more.
The cost of the contraceptive ring varies, generally ranging from 100 to 500 yuan. The exact cost of the procedure must be determined after the patient undergoes various pre-surgical examinations at the hospital.
The cost of an IUD generally consists of three main components: the pre-insertion examination fee, the insertion surgery fee, and the post-insertion anti-inflammatory treatment fee. 1. Pre-insertion examination fee: Before undergoing an IUD insertion surgery, young women typically need to undergo a pre-operative examination. The pre-operative examination primarily includes ultrasound and routine vaginal discharge tests, with the costs for these tests generally ranging around 100 yuan.
2. Ring Implantation Surgery Costs: This is primarily determined by the type of ring implantation surgery chosen by the patient. Experts indicate that the cost of an anesthetic ring implantation is higher than that of a conventional ring implantation.
3. The cost of anti-inflammatory treatment after the insertion of an intrauterine device: This price is usually not high, generally around tens of yuan.
Generally speaking, the cost of an IUD varies depending on the type of IUD and ranges from a few hundred to several thousand yuan.
The cost of the ring includes the preoperative examination fee, the surgical fee, and the material fee, etc.
Depending on the regional pricing differences, as well as issues regarding postoperative medication.
The specific price is impossible to calculate.
Prior to hormonal IUD placement, it is essential to undergo necessary examinations.
Based on actual circumstances, decide the timing of surgery and choose the type of contraceptive device.
Under conditions of inflammation, it is not advisable to undergo the IUD.
If you have gynecological inflammation, it is recommended to first seek treatment at a standard medical institution. Inserting an intrauterine device (IUD) may introduce bacteria. Gynecology hospitals advise that women with gynecological conditions generally should not rush to insert the IUD. You can take safety measures in your daily life and wait until after treating the gynecological disease before inserting the IUD.
If inflammation is not treated, it may exacerbate the inflammation.
How long can a contraceptive ring be used? Stainless steel metal contraceptive rings can last for 15-20 years.
Silicone, plastic or other types of contraceptive rings can be used for 5-7 years.
After the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), if there are significant discomforting symptoms, it is necessary to remove or replace the IUD, or if one plans to conceive, the IUD can be removed.
After menstruation has stopped, the contraceptive device can be removed 3 to 7 days later. The precautions after removal of the contraceptive device are the same as those before insertion.
After menopause, women stop ovulating and thus no longer become pregnant. Therefore, contraception is no longer necessary, and the IUD can be removed. Generally, the removal of the IUD should occur between six months to three years after menopause.
Early expulsion of the ring may be difficult due to uterine instability and may result in pregnancy, while late removal may cause difficulty due to uterine atrophy.
After inserting the contraceptive ring, what precautions should be taken? (1) Rest appropriately and avoid heavy physical labor.
Generally, after the insertion of a ring, it is recommended to rest for 1-2 days and refrain from engaging in heavy physical labor within the week, to prevent the ring from falling off or causing bleeding.
1. The copper ion in the intrauterine contraceptive device increases the sterile inflammation reaction of the endometrium and interferes with the enzyme system activity necessary for implantation, thus hindering the implantation and embryonic development of fertilized eggs.
2. Copper ions may also alter the biochemical characteristics of cervical mucus, affecting sperm mobility and capacitation, thereby further enhancing the efficacy of contraception.
Copper ions can directly kill sperm and embryos.
3. The role of prostaglandins: The long-term stimulation by the contraceptive ring leads to the production of prostaglandins in the endometrium.
Prostaglandin, on the other hand, enhances uterine contractions and ovarian movements, facilitating the development and division of immature fertilized eggs that are not fully developed. This results in the early delivery of these embryos to the uterus for implantation.
4. Excessive prostaglandin production can enhance the action of estrogen, inhibiting the decidual reaction during pregnancy and making it less conducive to the implantation of a fertilized egg.
5. The ring can interfere with the normal cyclic changes of the endometrium, which is not conducive to implantation
At the same time, it can also affect the transport or retrieval of sperm.
Intrauterine devices containing high doses of levonorgestrel may also inhibit ovulation, alter the nature of cervical mucus, and hinder sperm penetration.
Contraceptive rings are not associated with cancer. China widely used the contraceptive ring in clinical practice since 1960, but some people have wrong conception of the contraceptive ring and always afraid that long-term use will induce uterine tumors.
Some women were taken out the uterus tissue after the duration of the intrauterine device (IUD) was different, and pathology examination was made. The results showed that most of the patients were normal, but there were mild local inflammatory pathological changes, which had no adverse effect on human body. No cancerous change had been found.
