Types of intrauterine spirals - doctor's advice

The intrauterine spiral is a modern method of contraception, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed by millions of women and clinical studies. The principle of operation of the spiral is simple - disruption of the process of attachment of the embryo in the uterus, inhibition of the advancement of spermatozoa and their destruction. Having chosen this method of contraception, a woman should consult a doctor about all the pros and cons of an intrauterine spiral.

Advantages:

  • high efficiency (99%);
  • long term of validity (from 3 to 10 years);
  • affordable price;
  • possibility of use during breastfeeding;
  • quick recovery of fertility function after removal of the spiral;
  • healing effect (intrauterine hormonal system);
  • fullness of sensations and preservation of full sexual intercourse.
  • practically painless removal of the intrauterine spiral.

The disadvantage of the method is that it is allowed only for women who have already given birth.

Types of intrauterine spirals

There are many intrauterine spirals of various configurations, namely: in the form of a loop, probe, ring, oval and the English letter S, as well as T-shaped. When choosing a spiral, the doctor takes into account the anatomical features of a woman.

Types of intrauterine spirals:

  • Lipps loop is the first spiral that was made of polyethylene and had low efficiency;
  • Intrauterine spiral with copper is more reliable with a service life of up to three years. Copper weakens the activity of spermatozoa and destroys them;
  • Intrauterine spirals with gold and silver. Precious metals allow to increase the service life (more than 5 years) and the effectiveness of protection;
  • hormonal spirals with active substances that affect the endometrium. Direct indications for their use are endometriosis and myomatosis.

The doctor will help decide which intrauterine spiral to choose after a thorough examination and study of the results of laboratory tests. It is very important to take into account the patient's anatomical features.

Contraindications for installing a T-shaped intrauterine spiral:

  • inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system;
  • erosions and bleeding;
  • violation of the folding process;
  • presence of ectopic pregnancy in the past;
  • malignant tumors and benign neoplasms of large sizes;
  • tuberculosis of the reproductive system;
  • menstrual cycle disorders (profuse discharge, cycle disorders).

The principle of action of the hormonal intrauterine spiral

The intrauterine spiral is inserted exclusively by a doctor in compliance with all the necessary rules of asepsis and antiseptics. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis on the 7th day of the menstrual cycle. Before installation, we recommend that you read the instructions for inserting the intrauterine spiral. Insertion of the spiral is practically painless, so local anesthesia is not required.

A number of necessary studies are carried out in advance: ultrasound of the uterus, laboratory blood analysis and analysis of smears for the degree of purity and microflora. It is also important to make sure that there is no pregnancy.

The principle of action of the hormonal intrauterine spiral. The spiral contains progestagen (levonorgestrel) - the main active ingredient. The auxiliary component is polydimethylsiloxane elastomer. Released in the uterine cavity, progestagen acts locally, providing a high concentration of levonorgestrel in the endometrium. As a result of such influence, the thickness of the mucous canal of the neck increases, the mobility of spermatozoa decreases and ovulation is suppressed.

Installation and removal of the intrauterine spiral

The duration of the procedure is 15 minutes. To begin with, the doctor measures the depth of the cervix and washes the uterine cavity with a special solution, after which the spiral itself is inserted. The procedure, as mentioned above, is practically painless. In the first days after the introduction of the spiral, a woman may be bothered by aching pains in the lower abdomen. In most cases, the next 2-3 periods will be heavy. During 10 days, a woman is prohibited from intense physical exertion, hot baths, taking laxatives and sexual life.

Removal of the intrauterine spiral is also performed by a doctor on an outpatient basis.

Possible complications after removing the spiral:

  • inflammation of appendages;
  • bleeding;
  • chronic endometritis;
  • infertility (when using a good intrauterine spiral with silver, this complication does not occur).

If you have any questions, make an appointment with your doctor and find out which IUD is best for you. In the clinic, you can undergo a full examination and consult with specialized specialists, who, if necessary, will draw up a treatment plan and monitor its implementation. Take care of your own health now.
