What is a ring?
The IUD is a long-acting contraceptive method that achieves the contraceptive function by inserting a small device into the uterus. The IUD is placed by a doctor and can last for three to ten years. It has the advantages of being difficult to forget, reducing the burden of medication, and not affecting sexual function. It has become one of the contraceptive methods chosen by many women.
Types of rings
There are two popular types of upper rings on the market: copper rings and hormone rings.
The copper ring mainly works as a contraceptive through the release of copper ions. It does not contain hormones and will not affect the menstrual cycle. However, side effects such as abdominal pain and menorrhagia may occur when it is first placed.
Hormone rings exert a contraceptive effect by releasing hormones (such as progesterone). Therefore, in addition to contraception, they can also reduce uncomfortable symptoms such as menstrual pain and menstrual flow, but they will have side effects similar to oral contraceptives.
Advantages of the ring
Compared with other contraceptive methods, the IUD has many advantages, including long-lasting reversibility, no need for memory, and no impact on sex life. In addition, there is little difference between the incidence of IUD and pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy and other diseases, and it does not have any contraindications for women with a history of severe disease.
Applicable groups and precautions for Sheung Wan
Although the IUD is a very convenient method of contraception, it is still not 100% reliable. Applicable people include women who have never given birth or have given birth but still need contraception. At the same time, the upper ring is not suitable for women with gynecological diseases such as cervical inflammation, hysterectomy or deformity. The process of placing the ring is more painful, and attention must be paid to anti-inflammation and infection prevention. Regular inspections are required during use to detect problems and remove them in time. In addition, the upper ring is not a health product. Please consult a doctor before using it to avoid allergies or other discomforts.
In short, under appropriate circumstances, the IUD is an excellent contraceptive method. It is worthy of women\’s in-depth understanding and choice in terms of contraceptive effect and health of women\’s bodies.
