Many new mothers, because they do not know how to use contraception, or have adopted incorrect contraceptive methods, often get pregnant again after a few months of "unloading", and some families who are not ready can only choose to miscarry.
Because the reproductive organs of the postpartum mother have not yet returned to their normal state, the uterus is very soft, if it is a mother who has been caesarean section, the wound on the uterus has not been completely healed, and it is more likely to cause secondary injuries when abortion: such as uterine perforation, intestinal rupture, heavy bleeding, etc., the damage to the body is very large, and some complications will even be life-threatening.
Therefore, postpartum contraception is very important!
01
When should postpartum contraception begin?
In principle, from the third week after childbirth, it is possible to get pregnant, so from this time on, the postpartum mother should start to use contraception. This stage may begin to have an egg release and come earlier than the first postpartum period. If the mother insists on breastfeeding after childbirth, the chance of conception is relatively low, but breastfeeding is not an absolutely safe contraceptive method.
02
Which contraceptive methods are safe and effective?
The use of condoms and oral contraceptives is relatively safe, and there may be a problem after IUD placement: most of the current IUDs use IUDs with tail wire, and the presence of this tail wire is equivalent to disrupting the isolation effect of cervical immune embolus. Immunosuppressions, on the other hand, have the effect of isolating the vaginal bacterial environment from the sterile environment.
If the postpartum mother places a tail filament IUD, it is equivalent to "matching" between the bacterial and sterile environment, and bleeding may occur in a short period of time, or bleeding after the upper ring, and the cervix has been open in the case of bleeding, which is easy to increase the chance of infection.
03
How long can I be on the ring after giving birth?
For mothers who give birth normally, the upper ring can be performed 42 days after childbirth (6 weeks after childbirth), and if it is a cesarean section, the upper ring can be performed at 6 months after childbirth. However, which type of birth control ring to use is decided by the doctor to examine the size of the uterine cavity and other factors, and after a comprehensive assessment.
If the mother insists that she only wants to go to the "ManYuele contraceptive ring", it is not impossible, but it is necessary to know in advance the side effects of the drug, the impact on menstruation and so on. In addition, if Bao Ma wants to use the "T-ring", it is also possible.
Because the ring selected by the doctor for the mother also needs a process from trial to usability, for example, the mother has used two rings after childbirth, but the effect is not very good, and even if it falls down, you need to consider a fixed contraceptive ring.
04
How do caesarean section mothers use contraception?
Caesarean section has a great damage to the muscle wall of the uterus, so it is not possible to go on the birth control ring after the postpartum menstruation returns to normal, as in women who give birth naturally. Therefore, the contraceptive method after caesarean section should vary from person to person, and the classification guidance should be carried out.
05
What should I pay attention to when changing contraceptive methods?
1. Before considering changing contraceptive methods, we must have a full understanding of the new method and be clear about the use of methods and pros and cons.
2, oral contraceptives of the mother, if you change other contraceptive methods, you need to insist on taking to a complete menstrual cycle, it is not recommended to replace halfway, otherwise it is easy to cause menstrual disorders, contraceptive failure.
3. Mothers using long-acting contraceptives, if they change other contraceptive methods, such as upper ring and condoms, they should also use other contraceptive methods after taking short-acting contraceptives for 2 to 3 cycles to avoid menstrual disorders.
4. Although IUD products are constantly updated and iterated, they all have certain advantages and disadvantages. Postpartum mothers should grasp a big principle: as long as the body can accept the IUD that has been placed, the effect is reliable and there are no side effects, you can continue to use it, and there is no need to replace it. Usually the IUD can be left in the body for 10 to 20 years.
5. Couples who originally used contraceptives, if they switch to oral contraceptives, it is best to start taking drugs on the 5th day of menstruation, and must insist on using contraceptives before taking drugs.
