Do IUDs cause cervical cancer? 3 major side effects to note

　　Wearing a contraceptive ring can cause cervical cancer ?

　　Normally, after the egg is fertilized, Uterus The endometrium thickens to allow the fertilized egg to implant. The intrauterine device will stimulate the endometrium, increase the number of white blood cells in the endometrium, and produce aseptic inflammation. This can prevent the fertilized egg from implanting, and can also affect the development of the fertilized egg, causing the endometrium to lose nutrients and causing the embryo to dissolve. These only affect the properties of the endometrium and cervical mucus for contraception and will not cause cervical cell lesions.

　　So what are the side effects of wearing an IUD?

　　1. Lower abdominal pain or backache

　　After the IUD is inserted, a small number of women will feel this way. Mainly because some people's uteruses are more sensitive to the IUD and regard it as an "intruder", causing uterine contractions and mild lower abdominal pain or backache. After a short period of adaptation, the symptoms will disappear on their own.

　　If you install a contraceptive ring with a tail wire, the long-term contact and friction stimulation of the cervical membrane by the tail wire may cause a significant increase in cervical secretions, that is, an increase in leucorrhea. Similarly, a contraceptive ring without a filament can also act as a foreign body, irritating the endometrium and causing increased secretions. After a period of time, after the endometrial tissue completely adapts, the leucorrhea will naturally decrease. If soon after the ring is inserted, not only the leucorrhea increases significantly, but also yellow purulent leucorrhea appears, accompanied by general fever and vaginal discharge. stomach ache When you feel unwell, an infection may have occurred and you need to seek medical attention promptly.

However, a small number of people did become infected. Analyzing the reasons, most of them are due to failure to pay attention to hygiene after the IUD, or a history of reproductive tract inflammation in the past, or premature sexual intercourse or frequent sexual life after the IUD. Infection can occur. After antibiotic treatment, it can generally be effectively controlled.
