IUDs are not effective in preventing ectopic pregnancy

IUD is a commonly used contraceptive method and is currently one of the most trusted contraceptive methods by most women. Many people believe that it is also helpful in preventing ectopic pregnancy, so they relax the prevention of ectopic pregnancy. Experts point out that the prevention of ectopic pregnancy by IUD is not thorough.

Generally speaking, the effect of IUD on preventing ectopic pregnancy is very small. IUD is a contraceptive method that involves inserting the IUD into the uterus to prevent embryo development. It is a common method used by women in my country.

According to incomplete statistics, there is still a 3%-4% chance of pregnancy after IUD insertion. Since IUD insertion affects the "home" of the fertilized egg, once pregnant, the fertilized egg is likely to "set up camp" outside the uterine cavity (common locations are the fallopian tubes and ovaries), i.e., ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, it is not very helpful in preventing ectopic pregnancy.

Since the initial symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are similar to normal vaginal bleeding, it is easy to mistake it for menstruation, so the prevention of ectopic pregnancy is very important. Ectopic pregnancy is extremely harmful to women, and it is likely to lead to infertility in the future and have a greater impact on sexual life. The prevention of ectopic pregnancy needs to be taken seriously.
