What is an intrauterine device?

Do not want any abortion, no woman, but the prevention of unwanted pregnancy with oral contraceptives, too, is fraught with negative consequences for the body. Such drugs can disrupt the hormonal background and lead to various diseases associated with reproductive organs. Therefore, getting out of the situation is an opportunity to put such a contraceptive as a spiral intrauterine "Multiload", which will provide quite reliable protection against unwanted pregnancy and, at the same time, the hormonal background will remain normal.

Many people are interested in what the intrauterine device looks like and what is it? The intrauterine device is a small device, which can have various forms, but, basically, is a T-shaped wire device in the form of convoluted spiral. All of them are made of copper or silver alloy, and in the uterus the spermatozoa die due to the accumulation of phagocytes: they become non-viable due to the action of metal ions on the motility of the spermatozoa.

In the event that at least one sperm remains alive, it will not be able to attach to the endometrium of the uterus due to the fact that there is a spiral in that place. Therefore, he, unfertilized, is excreted from the uterus along with menstrual secretions.

About intrauterine spirals can be judged from two sides. Their positive qualities consist in the reliability of protection and ease of use. It is believed that the spirals are better and more reliable than other contraceptives, which should be taken with each sexual act or according to a certain pattern. It would be desirable to notice, that developers of such contraceptive, as a spiral intrauterine, responses considered practically all women. Also, the spiral does not interfere with sexual relations, neither one, nor another partner. During the use of this contraceptive, a woman's life proceeds in the usual rhythm: she can engage in any sport, relax or travel - this will not affect her health and the effect of the spiral. This is especially felt by women who previously used oral contraceptives: with a change in lifestyle, climate and other factors, a woman could experience discomfort caused by a change in the hormonal background. When using the contraceptive spiral intrauterine, reviews about it are almost always positive. It should be noted that the spiral is cheaper than using other methods of contraception.

By the way, any woman is simply obliged to know that the intrauterine device is a spiral, the feedback about which is confirmed, starts to act immediately after the moment of its installation. Also, if you want to get pregnant, a woman can get rid of it at any time and calmly continue her sexual life. Pregnancy comes quickly, usually in two to four months. A woman who has given birth to a child and after that has put a spiral, can also continue to feed the milk of the soap. The spiral thus does not have any pathological actions on its organism. This is what concerns positive feedback from women about intrauterine spirals.

But there is a downside to the coin. In addition to positive, spiral intra-uterine responses have negative. And the first is that menstruation becomes more prolonged, plentiful and can flow with pain syndromes. This is due to irritation of the internal lining of the endometrial layer in the uterus, which in the beginning of menstruation departs in the form of blood discharge. In addition, pathogens can penetrate the uterus along the spiral and its tendrils and provoke inflammation of the appendages. In this case, there is often a violation of patency of the fallopian tubes, spikes may develop, which often leads to problems with the further possibility of becoming pregnant. Prolonged finding of a spiral in the uterus can cause fibrosis, endometriosis and other inflammations. Therefore, hormonal intrauterine devices are being used for five years. They also represent a T-shaped form, but the principle of their action is different. So, the hormonal preparation "Levonorgestrel" contained in the spiral promotes the thickening of the mucus, which leads to the formation of a cork in the cervix, and it does not pass spermatozoa. And those that got into the uterus, become inactive, and therefore not viable. After the removal of this spiral, conception, as a rule, can occur immediately after the end of the first menstruation. In addition, that such a spiral intrauterine responses has a different character, it should not be forgotten that it perfectly performs the role of a contraceptive, has a good therapeutic effect, which can not Make an ordinary spiral. When using this spiral, there are no menstrual irregularities, it can promote the treatment of endometriosis, uterine fibroids and does not allow the endometrium to grow.

Thus, we can conclude that simple spirals can have a pathological effect on the pelvic organs, but the hormonal spirals, in addition to the functions of contraception, also have a therapeutic effect.
