Can a woman still get pregnant unexpectedly while using a birth control ring?
There is also a possibility of unintended pregnancy after using intrauterine device (IUD). The success rate of contraception after using IUD is not 100%, and there is a 5% chance of unintended pregnancy. This is often caused by changes in the position of the IUD or its falling off. If menstruation is missed after sexual intercourse, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination promptly to avoid unintended pregnancy.
Points to Note:
1. The chance of pregnancy after using IUD is relatively low. The contraceptive device works by blocking the cervical opening, reducing the chance of egg and sperm combination, and preventing the implantation of fertilized eggs, thus achieving the purpose of contraception.
2. If the size of the contraceptive device is not suitable, it cannot completely block the cervical opening, or if the position of the IUD is off, it may lead to contraceptive failure and unintended pregnancy.
3. Choose a formal medical institution to perform the IUD insertion surgery, pay attention to sterilization to avoid infection.
4. Choose a contraceptive device that suits your cervical opening, and regularly check the position of the IUD. If it is off, it should be handled promptly. After insertion, regular ultrasound examination is needed to check if the position of the IUD is normal.
5. During the initial period of adaptation, the contraceptive device may stimulate the uterine lining, leading to increased secretions or vaginal bleeding. Maintain vaginal hygiene and avoid strenuous labor.
6. No contraceptive measure can achieve 100% effectiveness. Both using IUD and wearing a condom may lead to pregnancy. Even after tubal ligation surgery, unintended pregnancy can still occur.
