In our relationship, sometimes sexual activity is inevitable. Contraceptive measures are a crucial part of sexual activity because our financial capacity is limited and we are not yet able to shoulder the responsibility of supporting our families. Contraceptive rings and condoms are common tools. So, is the contraceptive ring painful?
Does the contraceptive ring hurt
Placing a contraceptive ring will not cause pain, it only provides discomfort. If you choose the appropriate size for the ring, it can be inserted in one go.
The intrauterine device (IUD) is the best contraceptive measure, which can cooperate with family planning and restore fertility at any time. It is simple, safe, effective, economical, and does not affect sexual life. If self-monitoring is not carried out after inserting an intrauterine device, some unexpected complications may occur, and even contraceptive failure may occur.
What should be paid attention to when installing a contraceptive ring
Firstly, take appropriate rest. After the insertion of the intrauterine device (IUD), the cervix is relatively loose and the IUD is prone to detachment. Therefore, it is recommended to rest for two days after IUD insertion. It is not advisable to engage in heavy physical labor or participate in high-intensity physical activities within a week. When urinating or defecating, try to avoid holding your breath too hard to prevent sudden increase in abdominal pressure from causing dislodgement.
Secondly, maintain hygiene. Ring insertion is a surgical procedure. To avoid infection, the external genitalia should be kept clean after surgery. The lower body should be washed with warm water every night and underwear should be changed. Within two weeks, sexual activity (which requires active cooperation from the male partner) and sitz baths (although showering or scrubbing is allowed) are prohibited to maintain vaginal hygiene and prevent cross infection.
Thirdly, pay attention to observation. Within a few days after inserting the intrauterine device (IUD) (mainly in the first three days), there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding, mild lower abdominal discomfort (such as lower back pain and sagging sensation), and increased vaginal discharge (caused by surgical trauma, mechanical compression of the IUD, or rupture of small blood vessels in the endometrium), which generally disappear on their own and do not require treatment. If the bleeding is excessive or lasts for more than a week, especially when there is abdominal pain, fever, etc., it is necessary to see a doctor in a timely manner.
Overall, an intrauterine device (IUD) is painless and requires attention to many things. Condoms are also like this. When choosing condoms, it is important to pay attention to their quality. It is best to purchase them from well-known large shopping malls, as the quality is more guaranteed. When in love, one should maintain rationality and take good care of oneself.
