A contraceptive ring is a device placed inside the uterus, often in a circular shape, hence it is called a contraceptive ring. Placing a contraceptive ring will not cause interference to the body, and removing it will not affect normal fertility. It is a commonly used contraceptive method with a contraceptive effect of 90%. Contraceptive devices are safe and effective, but they may also experience some physical discomfort symptoms such as abdominal pain and prolonged menstruation within a few months after placement.
1. Abdominal pain
Low abdominal pain, paroxysmal, accompanied by low back pain and irregular vaginal bleeding.
This type of abdominal pain is often caused by a downward movement towards the cervical opening, causing spasmodic contractions of the uterus. The treatment method is to remove the ring and place a ring that is suitable for the size of the uterine cavity. The persistent pain is mostly caused by inflammation, and broad-spectrum antibiotics have a good therapeutic effect.
2. Prolonged menstrual period
The normal menstrual period is 3-7 days. This type of patient often lasts for more than 7 days, or even more than 10 days. A few days ago, there was a lot of menstrual blood, and the drops were not clean. There were also persistent red and white discharge. The history of IUD insertion is mostly 6-10 years, accompanied by low back pain. Gynecological examination shows that the uterus is often compressed, with severe cases of thickening and compression of the appendix.
The reasons for prolonged physiological days are often due to prolonged IUD insertion, excessive fatigue, endometritis, and coagulation dysfunction. When medication treatment is ineffective, the contraceptive ring can be removed for curettage and anti-inflammatory treatment. After recovery, the IUD can be inserted again 3 months later.
3. Fever
Periodic fever often occurs on physiological days, reaching up to 39 degrees Celsius, accompanied by lower abdominal pain and purulent discharge. Some also exhibit persistent low fever
The U-shaped ring is generally placed for 4-5 years and can easily cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation over time. Physiological day pelvic congestion, endometrial peeling, leaving wounds, inducing acute exacerbation of chronic inflammation and high fever.
4. Increased vaginal discharge
If a contraceptive ring with a tail line is installed, due to the long-term contact and friction stimulation of the tail line on the cervical membrane, cervical secretions will significantly increase and vaginal discharge will increase. Similarly, contraceptive rings without tail wires can also act as foreign objects, stimulating the endometrium and causing an increase in secretions. After a period of time, the endometrial tissue fully adapts, and the vaginal discharge naturally decreases. Shortly after the safety of the device, not only did the vaginal discharge significantly increase, but yellow purulent vaginal discharge also appeared, accompanied by systemic fever, abdominal pain, and other untimely conditions. The possibility of infection is high, and immediate medical attention is needed.
Contraceptive ring is a safe and effective contraceptive method. More than 40% of Chinese women choose to place a contraceptive ring, which does no harm to the body, but will cause discomfort within the first few days. To reduce discomfort after getting an IUD, it is important to choose a reputable national medical institution.
