Patient's question:
Yesterday I went to the hospital to get an IUD. The doctor explained several types of IUDs, such as T-shaped, O-shaped, and Mirena, etc. The doctor didn't recommend which one was best, just said that the Mirena has fewer side effects. So, which one can you choose?Doctor's answer:
1. The most advanced intrauterine devices (IUDs) include:- Anshu Ring (contains hemostatic drugs; its composition allows the ring to adapt to the size and shape of the uterus, resulting in low expulsion and migration rates);
- Jine Ring series (includes soft silk and Zimei. Zimei contains medication for pain relief, which is released slowly);
- Mirena: contains progestin medication, which can prevent menstruation but still induce menopause. A highly effective drug-coated IUD for treating endometriosis. Very expensive, over 1,000.
2. Currently, the most widely used active IUD among women is one whose design principle primarily leverages the spermicidal effect of copper to surpass the effects of breastfeeding.
