MelbeaGold can be inserted immediately after an abortion performed
in the first trimester.
If the MelbeaGold device is not inserted within the first 15 minutes
after giving birth, the earliest it can be inserted is after the 4
th
week but
insertion is optimal and recommended from the 6
th
week onward since
the probability of perforation and rejection is high in the first 4 weeks.
– For the purpose of contraception, the IUD can be inserted within 5
days of unprotected intercourse on any day of the cycle (“emergency
contraception”).
In the case of such an insertion, the probability of acute pelvic inflammatory
disease (PID) may be higher than average.
9.2. Description of the insertion technique
Your gynaecologist or health care service provider will use an antiseptic
solution to clean your vagina and cervix then measures the length of your
uterus.
After this, the medical professional will slide a plastic tube containing the
MelbeaGold product into your uterus via the vagina and the cervix. Due to
the small diameter of the insertion tube, cervical dilation is not required.
When the MelbeaGold device enters your uterus, you might experience
cramps or a stinging sensation. Bleeding is also possible.
Your gynaecologist or health care service provider will remove the insertion
tube, leaving the MelbeaGold device in your uterus. Two threads of the blue
indicator string will extend into your vagina.
The threads will be cut so that they will be just long enough to allow you to
feel them with your fingers during a self-check.
If the device is pulled into the insertion tube and inserted in accordance
with the steps specified in the user instructions for medical professionals,
the correctly positioned T-shaped MelbeaGold device will be located in your
uterine cavity near the fundus.
The two arms of the product will be fully open on both sides, extending
toward the uterine horns.
The body of the IUD, together with the indicator string exiting via the cervix,
will extend into the lower portion of the uterine cavity to a smaller extent.
