There are still many contraceptive methods available for women to choose from now, among which the intrauterine device (IUD) is also one of the most popular choices. IUD has its own advantages, such as being able to provide contraception for several years, having a longer duration, and being reversible. There are many types of contraceptive rings, and the T-shaped ring is one of them. So, who is the suitable person for the T-shaped ring?
Who is suitable for a T-shaped ring?
The T-ring has a wide range of applications and is suitable for many women. The reason why contraceptive rings come in various shapes is to adapt to different types of uterine openings. The type of ring needed depends on the shape and size of the uterus. It is recommended to avoid heavy physical labor and abdominal pressure for a week after getting an intrauterine device (IUD). Sexual activity and baths should be prohibited within half a month, and underwear should be changed frequently to keep the external genitalia clean.
What are the disadvantages of getting an IUD?
1. Bleeding: Within 3-4 days after wearing an IUD, most women will experience a small amount of bleeding, which generally does not require treatment and will heal within a week of wearing the IUD.
2. Increased menstrual flow: During the first three months of wearing an intrauterine device (IUD), some women may experience varying degrees of increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or irregular spotting. Generally, it will naturally improve after three months. If the menstrual flow increases by 1-2 times compared to before the IUD insertion, or if the irregular bleeding lasts for a longer period of time, it may have caused anemia and prompt medical attention should be sought.
3. Lower abdominal pain or lower back pain: After wearing a ring, a small number of women may experience mild lower abdominal pain or lower back pain. After a short period of adaptation, the symptoms can disappear on their own. If there is severe pain in the lower abdomen, it may be due to intrauterine and pelvic infections, contraceptive ring displacement or entrapment, ectopic pregnancy, etc. It is necessary to go to the hospital for detailed examination and treatment as soon as possible.
Who is suitable for a T-shaped ring? Different women have different physical conditions, and the types and shapes of suitable contraceptive rings also vary. Specifically, women should go to the hospital for relevant examinations and receive advice and recommendations from doctors. Women should also be aware that contraceptive rings have a limited use period and should be aware of this when inserting them.
