The birth control ring is medically known as the IUD, and there are common types such as the copper T-type IUD and the copper-containing stentless IUD, etc. The method of placing the IUD is to fully expose the cervix, and then push into the uterine cavity with the placing device.
Before placing the IUD, the size and position of the uterus and the adnexa should be examined by bimanual diagnosis. The vulvovaginal area is routinely disinfected and draped. Then the cervix and cervical canal are sterilized after exposure of the cervix using a vaginal speculum, the anterior lip of the cervix is clamped with a cervical forceps, and a uterine probe is used to detect the depth of the uterine cavity in line with the position of the uterus.
The IUD is pushed into the uterine cavity with a placer, and the upper edge of the IUD must reach the bottom of the uterus. For IUDs with a tail filament, the tail filament is cut 2 cm from the uterine opening. The cervical forceps and the vaginal speculum are removed after no bleeding is observed and the placement is completed.
If you wish to have an IUD inserted for contraceptive purposes, it is recommended that you go to a regular healthcare facility to be evaluated and operated by a healthcare professional.
