Reliable contraception is an important issue for many modern women. The most convenient method is the introduction of an intrauterine device, which almost 100% protects against unwanted pregnancy. One of the best is considered the Goldlily spiral of the famous Hungarian pharmaceutical company Gedeon Richter. In addition to the contraceptive effect, the drug also has an anti-inflammatory effect.
How does the spiral work?
Intrauterine devices are considered one of the most reliable ways to prevent pregnancy. Experts often compare their effectiveness with the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. However, the device in question is more reliable, because women sometimes forget about the need to take birth control pills in a timely manner.
The effect of such a device is a detrimental effect on sperm. Male sex gametes become unable to fertilize. Also, the spiral affects the mucous surface of the uterus, making it more loose and unsuitable for attaching a fertilized egg. The spiral is selected exclusively individually for each woman.
Description of the Goldlily spiral
The Goldliely intrauterine device is an effective non-hormonal agent that helps prevent an unwanted pregnancy. The manufacturer used gold and copper as the main components for the manufacture of this device. Both materials are known for their unique healing properties. In the uterine cavity, insignificant particles of metals are released, which has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect.
According to the instructions, the spiral can be used if necessary
emergency contraception after unprotected or interrupted intercourse during the first five days. Copper ions have a spermicidal effect. The presence of this component affects the level of certain enzymes necessary for fertilization and implantation of an egg.
The Goldliely spiral is made of polyethylene, has a T-shape and is entwined with a metal wire. The product has a small copper content, so you can avoid the appearance of an allergic reaction to the metal. This does not affect the contraceptive effect.
Spiral benefits
The intrauterine contraceptive produced in Hungary, due to the presence of copper and gold in the alloys, has a pronounced bactericidal effect and significantly reduces the risk of developing an inflammatory process after the introduction of the spiral. Experts say that the Goldlily Exclusive intrauterine device is one of the most reliable contraceptives in this group. According to the instructions, the maximum service life of the gynecological device is 7 years.
Contraindications
Before installing an intrauterine device, a woman must undergo an examination by a gynecologist and pass some tests. In some cases, this method of contraception may not work. The following conditions are absolute contraindications:
- suspected pregnancy or its presence;
- inflammatory processes in the reproductive system;
- the presence of abnormalities in the structure of the uterus ;
- infectious pathologies of the genital organs;
- oncological diseases of the reproductive system;
- intolerance to copper or gold;
- periodic uterine bleeding of unknown etiology;
- the presence in the history of an ectopic pregnancy.
The doctor must carefully examine the patient's history. Some pathologies may be a relative contraindication to the installation of an intrauterine device. It is not recommended to establish a spiral for nulliparous women. This is associated with a risk of uterine bleeding or cervical damage.
Goldlyly Exclusive Spiral
The Hungarian-made Goldlyli Exclusive intrauterine device is manufactured in three sizes: mini, short and standard.
The size is selected depending on the longitudinal size of the uterus. If the probe length is more than 60 mm, you should choose a standard spiral size. The length of the shaft is 33 mm, and the shoulders are 32 mm. The standard size Goldliely spiral is the choice of most women after childbirth.
A short intrauterine device (length 26 mm) is suitable for women with a longitudinal uterus of up to 60 mm. The mini spiral has dimensions of 26 mm and 24 mm (rod and shoulders, respectively).
The remedy has earned positive reviews both from the side of doctors and from the fair sex. The contraceptive performs its task to the maximum, and also prevents the development of inflammation. A significant advantage is the absence of hormones in the composition of the spiral. This allows it to be used by women for whom hormonal contraception is not suitable for certain reasons.
Installation Features
Before installing the intrauterine device, the doctor must explain in detail to the patient the principle of its action and exclude all possible contraindications for use. Some women are afraid of pain during the insertion of the spiral. According to reviews, manipulation can really cause minor discomfort and pain. After the procedure, dull pain (in the lower abdomen) often occurs. Similar symptoms disappear within 2-3 days.
You can install the Goldlyli spiral in any period of the menstrual cycle. It is introduced using a special tube, which eliminates the need for expansion of the cervix. After birth, the contraceptive can begin to be used after 6 weeks. The patient needs to undergo the first preventive examination in a month. Regular examinations allow you to detect contraceptive bias in time.
What to do after installing the spiral?
Having installed the Goldliely intrauterine device, a woman must adhere to simple rules for 5 days. After the procedure, it is prohibited:
- Douching.
- Lift weights or expose the body to strong physical exertion.
- Have sex (only the first five days).
After the introduction of the device in rare cases, an inflammatory process develops. It is necessary to treat pathology immediately with the help of antibacterial drugs. If necessary, the spiral can be removed.
Doctors do not recommend using the Goldliely intrauterine device for more than 5 years. Reviews of women confirm the high efficiency of the device during this time.
It is important to monitor the presence of thread and its length. If the control thread has become longer or shorter, you should immediately consult a doctor. In cases where the spiral has not coped with its main task and pregnancy has nevertheless come, a woman can save it. Ions of copper and gold do not adversely affect the development of the fetus. The device should be removed as carefully as possible.
