Contraception is something that modern workaholics or couples who don't want to have a baby too early must do. So, women who are familiar with contraception generally know about the "intrauterine device" as a contraceptive method. But many people have had the experience of getting pregnant while wearing an intrauterine device. Why is this? Can't intrauterine devices prevent pregnancy?
Why can I still get pregnant with an intrauterine device
This usually has two factors:
1. The contraceptive ring has already fallen off due to factors such as uterine shortening and prolonged squatting in the bathroom, but women are unaware of it. Therefore, they will not use contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse. As a result, it is not surprising that women will become pregnant.
2. The size of the intrauterine device (IUD) does not match the size inside the female uterus, or the shape does not match, or there are factors such as excessive menstrual periods after IUD insertion or too long lifting time after IUD insertion. The IUD gradually moves downwards during continuous conflicting movements, losing its contraceptive effect. Therefore, some mothers may find that they clearly have an IUD in their body, but still get pregnant.
Can intrauterine devices really prevent pregnancy
There is no doubt that intrauterine devices can prevent pregnancy. But why do some women still experience pregnancy after wearing it? The reasons can be found from the following points:
1. The most common reason for contraceptive failure is that the intrauterine device has fallen out, but I was not aware of it.
2. The placement of intrauterine devices is relatively low, close to the cervical opening, and cannot inhibit the implantation and development of fertilized eggs.
3. The size of the intrauterine device is not suitable for the size of the uterine cavity, or the device has deformed or even broken, losing its contraceptive effect.
There are many methods of contraception, and choosing which one to use depends on one's actual situation. After understanding the contraceptive mechanism and reasons for contraceptive failure of intrauterine devices, I believe your concerns have been alleviated a lot! As long as you avoid several reasons for contraceptive failure and pay more attention to your physical changes, the chance of unintended pregnancy can be minimized.
