About the intrauterine device

Most modern coils are T-shaped. They are very small - no longer than a matchbox. Any intrauterine device can easily fit in the female palm, which is not surprising, because the uterus itself in a non-pregnant woman is no larger than a clenched fist. modern spirals usually made of copper or plastic; intrauterine devices with silver are somewhat less common. Silver coils are believed to prevent the development of certain inflammatory diseases and enhance contraceptive action, but, of course, they cannot protect against sexually transmitted diseases.

There are threads at the end of the intrauterine device, thanks to which, when the time comes, the doctor can easily remove the device from their uterus. Many women feel for these threads on their own from time to time to make sure that the spiral has not shifted. Just because you can feel the threads doesn't mean you can remove the IUD yourself.

In some cases, a woman's partner can feel these threads during sexual contact. Usually this is not a problem, but if a man is concerned about this, talk to a gynecologist - he can shorten the threads a little.

The intrauterine device prevents sperm from penetrating from the uterus into the fallopian tubes; it thickens the cervical mucus and also affects the endometrium, making it less likely that a fertilized egg will implant if conception does occur. An intrauterine device with silver and copper also makes sperm cells less mobile - this also reduces the likelihood of conception. .

Silver spirals

The intrauterine device with silver is far from a new contraceptive. Back in 1920, the German scientist Ernst Grafenberg, the "discoverer" of the famous G-spot, created a silver wire intrauterine device that worked for five years and, unlike the first spirals, did not provoke a uterine infection.

Modern intrauterine devices with silver in their design, size and properties are no different from traditional copper-containing intrauterine devices and just as effectively protect against the onset unwanted pregnancy, inhibiting the motor function of spermatozoa. The use of silver in the manufacture of copper-containing intrauterine devices is primarily due to the need: copper wire, a structural element of the spiral, corrodes when the spiral is inserted into the uterus and loses its protective contraceptive properties. That is why modern intrauterine devices provide copper wire with a silver core, the thickness of which can be up to about a third of the total diameter of the wire. The silver core protects the copper wire of the intrauterine device from corrosion, reducing the risk of damage to the structure of the device, since silver is a noble metal that is not affected by organic acids found in uterine fluids.

Intrauterine devices with silver have another important advantage: such spirals, due to the content of silver ions, have not only a high contraceptive effect, but also an anti-inflammatory effect. In fact, intrauterine devices with silver control and restrain inflammatory process in the mucous membrane lining the uterus from the inside, which can provoke the installation of a spiral in the uterus.

Intrauterine devices with silver are contraindicated in cases where there are any inflammatory diseases pelvic organs, infections of the reproductive system, postpartum endometriosis , cervical dysplasia (an abnormal growth of cells in the tissues of the cervix).

Silver intrauterine contraceptive in fact, it is a copper-silver spiral - an intrauterine device in which silver is presented in the form of a copper-coated rod.

Copper-silver intrauterine devices are rightfully considered one of the most effective. The action of the IUD is provided by a mechanical effect on the internal mucous membrane of the uterus, leading to a change in its structure and the creation of conditions unacceptable for the implantation of the ovum and its full development.

Copper, which is part of the silver spiral, and intrauterine contraceptives have a fairly large percentage of inclusion of this metal, has a toxic effect on spermatozoa. A decrease in the activity of spermatozoa, in turn, leads to a decrease in the fertilizing ability of the seminal fluid and enhances the effect of the IUD as a foreign body.

In women's spirals from pregnancy, silver appeared not by chance. Studies have shown that diffusion occurs at the boundary of the copper-silver layers with the formation of an intermediate layer of variable composition. Silver "takes the hit" and inhibits the oxidation of copper, which is part of the contraceptive. Due to this, the amount of copper ions entering the woman's body is dosed, and the service life of the IUD is increased to 7 years compared to five years of "usefulness" of pure copper spirals.

Contraindications for the use of silver IUDs

Attention! The use of an IUD with silver is contraindicated in case of intolerance to the metal. Most often, it manifests itself in the process of wearing silver jewelry in the form of dark stripes or a rash on the skin. When using a silver IUD, allergies to silver and copper can cause inflammation, prolonged periods, intermenstrual spotting, and abdominal pain.

A spiral is a method of contraception that is used to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Such an effect of these devices is explained by the active metal ions that are present in them.

In addition to the standard medical types there is a line made from noble metals. This is a silver spiral intrauterine, as well as gold. Naturally, the price of this contraception will be an order of magnitude higher, but it fully justifies itself.

The use of silver

This metal is characterized by antibacterial and disinfectant effect, which has a positive effect on female body. Silver has an inflammatory effect and can prevent various pathologies. This metal acts on spermatozoa, protecting the uterus from unwanted conception. As a result of the use of silver intrauterine spirals, spermatozoa become passive and die on the way to the uterus.

To date, there are many intrauterine devices using this metal, which can be made of pure silver or with copper. This type of contraception has many advantages.

Advantages of silver spirals

  • efficiency is about 98%;
  • prevention of inflammation in the uterus;
  • contraceptives with silver are not oxidized by organic substances that are present in the female body.

Cons of intrauterine contraceptives made of silver

  • the contraceptive cannot protect against infections and STDs;
  • women who have not given birth should not use these devices;
  • periods may be more painful and heavy.

A spiral with the use of silver will be an ideal option for those women who have a permanent sexual partner. Before installing a contraceptive, it is necessary to be fully examined to exclude the presence of pathologies, as well as pregnancy.

The use of gold

Due to the fact that most metals tend to oxidize, a gold coil was made as an improved version. The main advantage of this noble metal is compatibility with human body. Also, the metal does not cause allergic reactions.

Just like silver, contraceptives with gold are characterized by an anti-inflammatory effect. The gold intrauterine device can be used for several years without affecting the woman's reproductive capacity.

The structure of contraceptives with the use of gold is no different from the standard ones. The shelf life of these devices is about seven years. Efficiency reaches 99%, but the main disadvantage is, perhaps, the cost. Numerous reviews suggest that it is better to purchase a reliable metal coil and not worry about possible problems, since the risk when using this type of contraception is minimal.
