The dangers of wearing a ring

In order to prevent accidental pregnancy during sexual intercourse, some female friends will wear an IUD, which will cause great damage to their vagina and uterus. If you are not careful, it may even cause inflammatory cells and a lot of inflammation, which will cause vaginitis and cervicitis. Once these diseases occur, they will require a long time to treat.

Mechanical action: As a foreign body, it causes a mild, chronic, non-bacterial inflammatory reaction in the endometrium, thereby changing the intrauterine environment and preventing the fertilized egg from implanting.

Effect of inflammatory cells: When the degenerative substances of inflammatory cells reach a certain concentration, they poison the embryo and prevent it from continuing to develop.

Effect of prostaglandins: Intrauterine contraceptive devices can stimulate the endometrium to produce prostaglandins, which cause the uterus and fallopian tubes to contract and have abnormal peristalsis, while enhancing the effects of estrogen, making the environment in the uterine cavity unfavorable for implantation.

Function of active substances: The intrauterine contraceptive device can be made of metallic copper. It can achieve the purpose of contraception through local changes in the internal environment such as the endometrium and uterine fluid and its toxic effect on sperm.

Phagocytic action: mainly macrophages and neutrophils play the role of phagocytosis and destruction of sperm.

Although the operation of inserting the ring is simple and safe, it is a surgical operation after all. In order to avoid infection, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited 3 days before the operation and within two weeks after the operation. Pay attention to vaginal hygiene and do not take a bath in a tub after the ring is inserted to avoid uterine cavity infection. You should rest for 1 to 2 days after the operation and avoid heavy physical labor or high-intensity activities within a week, because the cervix is ​​loose after the ring is inserted and the ring may fall off easily.

Stainless steel metal rings can be placed for 15 to 20 years; silicone, plastic or other types of contraceptive rings can be placed for 5 to 7 years. If you have obvious discomfort symptoms after the IUD is placed, you need to remove or replace the IUD, or you can remove the IUD when you plan to become pregnant. The IUD should be removed 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over. The precautions after removing the IUD are the same as those for inserting it. After menopause, women stop ovulating and will no longer get pregnant, so there is no need for contraception. They can remove the IUD, which is usually removed 6 months to 3 years after menopause. If the IUD is removed too early, you can get pregnant again due to unstable menopause. However, if it is removed too late, the uterus will shrink and it will be difficult to remove the IUD.
