As women age, the risks of pregnancy also increase. Therefore, more and more women choose to undergo sterilization. However, due to people's lack of knowledge in this area, they may be curious about such issues. Therefore, the question of where the intrauterine device is placed in the uterus has attracted the attention of many women.
Where is the ring located in the uterus
The placement of female intrauterine devices is usually inside the uterus. It cannot be touched by hand inside the vagina. The principle of intrauterine contraceptive device placement is to change the environment for the implantation and development of fertilized eggs, affecting their implantation in the uterus, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception. However, this specific situation can also refer to everyone's physical state, which should be different.
Precautions after IUD insertion
1. Adequate rest: After the IUD is placed, the cervix is relatively loose and the IUD is prone to falling off. Therefore, it is necessary to rest for two days after the IUD is placed. It is not advisable to do 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.
2. Maintain hygiene: IUD 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.
3. Pay attention to observation: Within a few days after inserting the intrauterine device (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 falling sensation), and increased vaginal discharge (caused by surgical trauma or mechanical compression of the intrauterine device or rupture of small blood vessels in the endometrium). Generally, it can disappear on its own without 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.
I have already answered the question of where the intrauterine device is located in the uterus, and I believe it will be helpful for women. Here, the editor would like to remind everyone to pay more attention to the popularization of knowledge about precautions after getting an IUD, so that problems can be treated in a timely manner. Additionally, one should also pay attention to their psychological state.
