Intrauterine spiral Mirena - revolution in the field of contraception

Intrauterine spirals of the world, which are set by women, allow 98-99% to be protected from unwanted pregnancy. The remaining 1-2% are affected by factors such as the wrong initial installation, as well as spontaneous dropout. The intrauterine spirals of the world are the last achievement of science in this direction. It is here that for the first time two methods of contraception are used, namely intrauterine and hormonal. The composition of this helix is specially introduced hormone called levonorgestrel. This spiral, like all the others, has a t-shape, in the core itself, and there is a hormonal drug.

After the intrauterine device is installed, a gradual release of this hormone occurs from the stem. Intrauterine spirals of the mirena, it is necessary to establish in the period from the first to the seventh day of the menstrual cycle. As well as before installing an ordinary spiral, it is necessary to consult with a specialist. The price for intrauterine spirals of the mirena is somewhat higher than for ordinary ones, but due to higher reliability and service life, which is extended to 5 years, it largely wins over similar specimens.

The principle of the operation of intrauterine contraceptives.

After installing the spiral, it creates a reliable obstacle for the egg when it moves through the fallopian tube and mechanical destruction of the egg occurs. Also, the spiral does not allow the ovum to attach to the endometrium. Spirals of the contraceptive worlds cause thickening of the cervical mucus, which is an additional factor of protection from unwanted pregnancy.

It should be said that a small percentage of women, about 2% of all who use intrauterine devices, respond negatively to them. Most often these are women who use them for the first time. Some of them may have pain in the abdomen or back, also headaches, irritability increases, the menstrual cycle may change slightly, that is, its lengthening or shortening may occur. But basically, reviews about the spiral of peace are only positive, those women who started using it already do not want to use other types of counter-product.

Indications and contraindications for the use of intrauterine devices

Apply this type of contraceptives to women who have already given birth and in the near future do not plan to become pregnant. Also they should not have any inflammatory processes. None of the manufactured intrauterine spirals is suitable for women who have not yet given birth, have any sexually transmitted disease or inflammation in the genitals. They are also contraindicated for those women who are allergic to any of the components that make up the spiral or those who are suspected of having a tumor in the uterus. If women undergo treatment with drugs that affect the blood density, have severe heart disease, uterine deformities or HIV-infected people, it is also not recommended to install an intrauterine device.

With a correctly selected and established by a specialist spiral, almost completely eliminated the possibility of pregnancy, including tubal. But as already mentioned, it is most effective and safe to use an intrauterine device for women who have at least once given birth or those who have had a pregnancy.

Installation of an intrauterine device

This procedure should be carried out only by a specialist and necessarily in a medical institution. First, the cervix is exposed and thoroughly washed with an antiseptic, at the request of a woman, anesthesia can be performed. After this, the depth of the cervical canal and its direction are determined. Only after this, with the help of a special conductor, the helix itself is introduced. Then the conductor is taken out and threads are left about 2 centimeters long so that in the future it is possible to easily remove the spiral.
