Which type of contraceptive ring is better? You must know the side effects of these contraceptive rings

Sexual activity is an important part of couples' lives, and the health of sexual activity is directly related to their happiness. The contraceptive rate of intrauterine devices (IUDs) reaches over 99%, which is popular among some people.

Which contraceptive ring is good?

1. T-shaped intrauterine device

The most widely used intrauterine device so far is a T-shaped device with a tail thread, which is particularly convenient to remove. It can be used for up to 10 to 15 years, as long as there are no contraindications, and can be used by all women.

2. Copper V-shaped intrauterine device

The mother's body is shaped like an umbrella, with 5 teeth in its double curved arms, which have a certain degree of plasticity and tail line. It can be placed in the uterus for 5-8 years, with a very low dropout rate. Moreover, the pregnancy rate with a ring is low, and the bleeding rate is high. A copper intrauterine device is placed in the uterus, with a shape very similar to the shape of the uterine cavity. There is no tail line, and it can be placed in the uterus for 20 years.

3. Copper IUD without stent

An intrauterine device with copper material processing, such as a Gini ring, is equipped with 6 copper sleeves on nylon wire, with knots at the top, fixed on the base of the uterus, which is not easy to fall off, but requires a high level of placement technology. Without a stent, it has excellent flexibility and small size, suitable for women with large uterus, long cervix, loose cervix, and easy to fall off. It can be stored in the uterine cavity for 5-8 years.

What are the side effects of contraceptive rings?

1. Uterine perforation

The insertion of an intrauterine device may cause uterine perforation, but the probability is low, mainly due to improper doctor operation or improper uterine size. In addition, when women engage in vigorous exercise, the contraceptive ring in their bodies has a sharp shape and is subject to physical inertia, which can damage the uterus. In addition, unexplained uterine contractions can also compress the contraceptive ring, causing uterine perforation.

2. Damage to other organs

After intrauterine device perforation, it enters the abdominal cavity, causing device displacement, but with a low probability of occurrence. The intrauterine device may be ectopic in the mesentery, pelvis, and bladder. The intrauterine device (IUD) contains a large amount of copper ions, which have certain hemolytic and cytotoxic effects. Menstrual blood increases bleeding without coagulation.

3. Ectopic pregnancy

When an embryo is implanted in the fallopian tube but does not reach the uterus, an ectopic pregnancy can occur. The contraceptive principle of an intrauterine device is to change the internal environment of the uterus, resulting in miscarriage. This only plays a local role in the uterus and can only prevent normal pregnancy in the uterus, but cannot avoid ectopic pregnancy.
