Patient's question:
Doctor,I would like to use an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception, but I've heard that there can be many troubles after wearing it, and the menstrual period can also be very long. There are many types of IUDs available now, and I don't know which one is better, so I would like to ask for your help. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
??????Commonly used intrauterine devices (IUDs) include the T-shaped ring, the Mirena IUD, as well as the frameless Gyni ring and the drug-releasing Mirena contraceptive system. The standard T-shaped ring is provided free of charge. The paid options include the Mirena ring, which generally costs tens to over a hundred yuan, the Gyni ring, which usually costs two to three hundred yuan, and the Mirena, which costs over a thousand yuan. Generally, the standard T-shaped ring is sufficient. If you have heavy menstrual bleeding or have previously used a T-shaped or other easily dislodged IUD, you may choose the Gyni ring or the Mirena.
