The female contraceptive coil, also known as the IUD, is placed through the cervical opening into the uterine cavity and needs to be operated by a specialized doctor.
The IUD is the most common contraceptive method chosen by women and can be placed in the hospital 3 to 7 days after menstruation. A gynecological examination, including routine leukorrhea, gynecological ultrasound, etc., should be performed before the IUD is inserted, and the result is not abnormal before the IUD is inserted.
IUD placement is usually done in the gynecological outpatient operating room. Based on the results of the examination, the appropriate IUD for the individual is selected, and then the cervix is exposed using a vaginal speculum, and the IUD is placed into the uterine cavity through the cervical opening using a specialized instrument.
There may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding for a short period of time after the placement of the device, usually no more than 1 week, during which time you should avoid sexual intercourse. After menstruation, you can go to the gynecology clinic of your local hospital for a repeat gynecological ultrasound to check the status of the birth control device, and to find out in time whether there is any change in the position of the device, or whether it has shifted downward, in order to avoid affecting the effectiveness of contraception.
It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital to have the sterilizer placed, and follow the doctor’s instructions before and after the operation.
