Patient's question:
My period is always 3-7 days early, and the first two days of each cycle are very light, with dark-colored flow. Is there a problem with my period? Also, I got an IUD (Mirena) in October. When do I need to replace it?Doctor's answer:
First, the intrauterine contraception period. In half of the women who are married and have taken contraceptive measures, this method is adopted. Because we say that the time of inserting an IUD is long, in fact, the contraceptive effect of the IUD is not good, and it has been phased out. Now, it is mainly the device. This is a diagram of the uterus, which is an inverted triangle. In the past, we said that the IUD could last a lifetime. Now, the copper-containing intrauterine device is about ten years. It has an important focus: our country has made family planning a national policy, "one ring, two ties." This is a very good contraceptive method, and it is also convenient and economical. Even if an intrauterine device costs 100 yuan, using it for 10 years, the monthly and annual costs are very low. We will introduce the common intrauterine devices, including the trapezoidal ring, the uterine cavity-shaped ring, and Mirena. This is the most commonly used ring we use. These contain to reduce menstrual blood volume. There is also the MCU functional intrauterine device. The key component of these is copper, which can kill sperm and play a role in contraception.
