What does it mean to have an IUD

"Huan" is a colloquial term for an intrauterine contraceptive device, which is a common contraceptive measure in life. The IUD is mainly a birth control measure that women must take after giving birth to their first child. Generally, some inspections are carried out at family planning stations and other places before the placement of the IUD. The IUD mainly refers to an intrauterine contraceptive device, which is placed in the uterine cavity of women of childbearing age. It can use mechanical stimulation or chemical substances to reduce the common fertilization effect.

The IUD can achieve some purposes of abortion and contraception, and it will not affect the female endocrine system if ovulation continues. At the same time, it can avoid the general adverse reactions of general drugs. Therefore, IUD insertion is also a common contraceptive measure in clinical practice. Let us briefly introduce the content of IUD insertion below.

Inert intrauterine contraceptive device: made of stainless steel wire or plastic, silicone, such as metal single ring, twisted ring and stainless steel uterine ring.

Copper intrauterine device: It is the most widely used type of active intrauterine device, which uses the killing effect of copper on sperm or fertilized eggs to enhance the contraceptive effect.

Progestin-releasing intrauterine device: The progestin contained in the intrauterine device is slowly and steadily released into the uterine cavity, which improves the contraceptive effect and can significantly reduce bleeding.

Intrauterine devices that release hemostatic drugs: can effectively control the increase in menstrual volume after intrauterine device placement.

The foreign body effect of the intrauterine contraceptive device can cause asexual inflammation of the endometrium, thereby affecting the implantation of the fertilized egg. In addition to the above functions, the washable intrauterine contraceptive device also releases copper ions, which have a killing effect on sperm and embryos.

The intrauterine device containing progestin can release a small amount of progestin into the uterine cavity for a long time, causing the endometrium to atrophy, which is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg. Both of these effects further enhance the contraceptive effect of the active intrauterine device.

The above is what it means to have an IUD inserted. At the same time, the IUDs that can be inserted are mainly robots with different materials and shapes and have different characteristics. The IUDs are inserted according to the different physical conditions and needs of women to avoid some pregnancies. After the IUD is inserted, you should pay attention to proper rest, avoid excessive physical labor, pay attention to hygiene to avoid infection, and pay attention to vaginal bleeding and the shedding of the ring.
