Birth control rings, as a form of contraception.
Some people like it because it is used once and for all.
Some people are afraid of it, worried about physical damage.
But for many moms, the birth control ring is a shadow of the times.
In the era of family planning, many women eventually had to use this method to force contraception.
In a novel by Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan, "Frog", it is told about the pregnancy ring, in order to complete the family planning task, the wife is forced to place a birth control ring in the body after giving birth.
And the wife secretly found a person who would "plow pigs and castrate dogs" to take the ring, use an iron hook, and hook it out in a few clicks.
However, the protagonist discovers that his wife is pregnant after taking the ring, and finally has to force his wife to undergo abortion surgery, and eventually the poor woman finally falls on the abortion operating table.
The hidden dangers lurking in the bodies of mothers, it is time to solve them
Due to special historical reasons, the conflict of power and dominance behind the IUD is also particularly prominent.
Beginning in the 1960s, China began to implement a family planning policy and began to select IUDs as an important way to achieve family planning.
According to China's Family Planning Policy and Rural Women, IUD was first used only by urban women, and then began to spread to rural areas in the 1970s.
(Various types of IUD)
With the change of policies and contraceptive concepts, more and more people began to choose to take more flexible contraceptive methods such as contraceptives and condoms, and the birth control ring began to withdraw from the historical stage.
However, although it has bid farewell to history on the surface, the birth control ring left in the female body has not disappeared, and it is still in the female body.
But most people simply don't know that the birth control ring has a term of use and will be removed after a certain period of time. According to the data of recent years, the number of people who take the ring is far less than the number of people who wear the ring.

What happens to the body if the birth control ring is not removed in time?
As a relatively effective contraceptive product, the pregnancy ring can indeed effectively plan family planning, but it will also bring a series of side effects, such as excessive menstruation in women, prolonged menstruation and other negative effects.
In the long run, these problems may arise:
1. The endometrium is damaged
After a woman enters menopause, the uterus also slowly atrophises if the birth control ring is not removed.
After the uterus atrophy, it will rub against the birth control ring, and after the endometrium is damaged, it will cause women to have symptoms of waist and abdominal pain and bleeding.
2. Cause gynecological inflammation
If it is not removed within the time that the birth control ring is removed, it will cause the birth control ring to grow into the muscle layer of the uterus, causing chronic damage to the uterus and causing gynecological inflammation and other problems, resulting in abnormal vaginal discharge, vaginal itching, and aggravated odor in women.
3. Incarcerated
The birth control ring stays in the body for too long, and after aging and rupture, it may be embedded in the uterine muscle layer or serous membrane layer.
If the uterine wall is punctured into the abdominal cavity, it may also be embedded in the intestine, resulting in a situation such as the intestine being scratched, and it is also difficult to remove the sterilization ring.
How many mothers remember to take out the birth control ring?
According to the regulations, if the complications of the birth control ring have greatly affected daily life, and there has been no improvement, then it needs to be removed in time.
But the problem was that in my mother's time, due to poor sanitary conditions, limited medical standards, and the lack of experience of medical staff at that time, many improper or wrong operations were made.
These factors may increase the complications of the birth control ring, resulting in many women who have endured these pains for decades, but no one has ever reminded them that they need to take out the time to ---- the birth control ring.
But fortunately, the ring surgery, in fact, is not so terrible, it belongs to the gynecological minor surgery, the operation is very simple.
Usually this operation can be completed in 5 minutes, there is no tail wire birth control ring, with the ring hook or ring clamp to clip out the birth control ring; if the birth control ring is found to have tail wire, it is necessary to clamp the tail wire and gently pull it out, but it will not produce obvious pain.
But the problem is that if it is not removed late, the birth control ring is likely to scratch with the inner wall of the uterus, and may even be embedded in the lining of the uterus, so not only will it be relatively difficult to take it out, but it will also increase some pain and bleeding.
For historical reasons, birth control rings have become "the pain of a generation of mothers".
Now this hidden danger of being forgotten in the mother's body is also the time to remind them, take them, and take them out the "pain of the years" buried in the body.
