The intrauterine device (IUD) is a contraceptive device that has minimal interference with the body and only acts locally. If you plan to have another child in the future, you can immediately enter the preconception plan after removing it. It is currently a very effective contraceptive measure and also a very long-lasting contraceptive measure. So, what are the hazards of intrauterine devices? Let's all learn about it together!
1. Bleeding
The placement of intrauterine devices (IUDs) damages the endometrium and requires some time for repair, so there may be varying degrees of bleeding symptoms in the first few days of placement. If the amount of bleeding is not significant, there is no need for special treatment. Due to bleeding causing a significant loss of iron in the body, it is easy to develop iron deficiency anemia, leading to fatigue, weakness, and discomfort in patients.
2. Soreness and soreness
Contraceptive devices can cause pain in the lower abdomen or lower back of pregnant women, as they are foreign objects to the body. If the device is placed too large or too low, it may cause uterine contractions, leading to uterine pain.
3. Unexpected pregnancy
Intrauterine devices can achieve the goal of preventing normal implantation in the uterine cavity, but they cannot achieve a 100% success rate. So some women may experience unexpected ectopic pregnancy due to the insertion of intrauterine devices. So when women use contraception, they must choose a more suitable contraceptive method to avoid causing harm to their body.
