The best time for IUD
The IUD is one of the more commonly used contraceptive measures. Compared with oral contraceptive pills, it is simpler and more practical and relatively convenient to use. However, as a medical device, the time and method of using the IUD still need to be paid attention to in order to achieve the best contraceptive effect.
Applicable people
For women who need long-term contraception but don’t want to take pills on time every day, the IUD is a good choice. In addition to the common situations mentioned above, the following are also other situations where the IUD is suitable:
1. Women whose uterine shape has changed due to multiple miscarriages or surgeries such as uterine fibroid surgery or who are not suitable for oral contraceptives;
2. Women with severe side effects such as nausea and vomiting;
3. Women who are negligent are prone to missing oral contraceptive pills, but the IUD can avoid the problem of missed pills;
4. Women with a long window period are prone to dizziness, headache and other uncomfortable symptoms when they use the medicine again because they have not used the medicine for a long time.
Notes
Like other medical devices, the following points need to be paid special attention to when using the IUD:
1. Choose a regular hospital or clinic and have a qualified professional physician perform the installation operation;
2. Before installation, a gynecological examination is required to confirm that there are no gynecological diseases or uterine deformities;
3. After installation, regular inspections are required to ensure that the IUD is in the correct position and that there are no problems such as shifting;
4. After installation, you need to avoid too strenuous exercise during the period to avoid problems such as local secretions in the urethra and irregular menstruation, which will affect the effect.
Best time to use
Generally speaking, after installing the IUD, it is recommended to wait until the first menstrual period before using it, because at this time the cervix is dilated, making it easier to install. At the same time, you also need to consider the menstrual cycle when choosing the installation time. It is recommended to install it on 1-7 days of the menstrual cycle.
In addition, when using the IUD, it is best to communicate with your doctor to understand the specific period of use and whether there will be any effects after removing the IUD.
Summary
When choosing an IUD as a contraceptive measure, you need to have a thorough understanding of your physical condition and the professional advice of your doctor, choose the appropriate installation time, and pay attention to the usage period and maintenance methods. Although the birth control ring is convenient to use, you should also pay attention to the occurrence of discomfort symptoms and conduct regular inspections to ensure the contraceptive effect.
