Side effects of birth control ring

China implements a family planning policy, so when Chinese people become pregnant must be planned. And generally each family can only have one child. The reproductive period of women lasts for more than thirty years. During this long reproductive period, contraceptive measures must be taken. There are many methods of contraception, such as oral contraceptives, IUDs, condoms, etc. Long-term oral contraceptive use is very harmful to women's bodies.

Wearing an IUD is a contraceptive measure that many women like to take. Generally, women who have given birth use IUDs for contraception. This contraceptive method is simple and convenient. However, IUDs also have side effects. How much do you know about it? The following is an introduction.

Side effects of birth control ring

1. The mechanism of uterine perforation caused by wearing an IUD is not clear. It is generally believed that it may be caused by the inappropriate size of the uterus or improper operation by the doctor. In addition, when women exercise vigorously, the IUD in their body may cause damage to the uterus due to its sharp shape and physical inertia. Unexplained uterine contractions may also squeeze the IUD and cause uterine perforation.

2 Damage to other organs

In rare cases, the IUD may perforate the uterus and enter the abdominal cavity, causing the IUD to become dislocated. The IUD may be ectopically located in the bladder, pelvis, or mesentery.

3. Excessive menstrual flow

Some intrauterine contraceptive devices contain copper ions, which are cytotoxic and hemolytic, causing excessive menstrual flow and non-clotting bleeding. This is a normal phenomenon.

4 Ectopic pregnancy

If the embryo implants in the fallopian tube and does not reach the uterus, the result is an ectopic pregnancy. The contraceptive principle of the intrauterine device is to change the environment inside the uterus to cause miscarriage. It only works locally in the uterus, so it can only prevent normal pregnancy in the uterus, but cannot prevent ectopic pregnancy.

It has been introduced above that wearing an IUD can cause women to have heavier menstrual flow, which can easily cause iron deficiency anemia. Therefore, women with IUDs should pay attention to supplementing iron in their daily diet. Foods rich in iron include. Spinach, pork liver, etc. There may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding or increased leucorrhea in the first 2 to 3 days after the placement of the ring, which usually disappears naturally after 3 to 5 days.
