Things to note about Sheung Wan

There are various precautions to take after having an IUD inserted. The most important thing is to wait until the wound gradually heals. During the recovery period, do not go to public places or swimming pools, as this will cause bacterial infection in your vagina. Therefore, you need to pay special attention to your own care and take some anti-inflammatory drugs to make the wound heal faster.

1. Under normal circumstances, the most recent time for a woman to have an IUD inserted is within 3-7 days after the end of menstruation. At this time, the endometrium is thinner and is in the proliferation stage, and the slight damage caused by the IUD can be repaired quickly. In addition, the cervix is ​​tighter at this time, so it is not easy to fall off after insertion. To avoid infection, you should avoid sexual intercourse within one week before having the IUD inserted.

2. If an unexpected pregnancy occurs and an abortion is required, an IUD can be inserted immediately after the abortion. At this time, performing abortion and IUD insertion at the same time is not only convenient for women, but also reduces their psychological burden.

3. If it is during delivery, it can be placed during the postpartum check-up 42 days after delivery. Because at this time, the uterus has basically returned to its normal size before pregnancy, the cervix is ​​loose, and it is easy to insert the IUD. At the same time, if sexual life has not been resumed after delivery, "hidden pregnancy" can be ruled out.

4. If the delivery method is cesarean section, then it can be inserted during the cesarean section. If the IUD is inserted at this time, the ring can be placed in the best position in the uterus without increasing the patient's pain and mental burden, and can also avoid "hidden pregnancy" after delivery. In addition, the IUD insertion operation does not go through the vagina during cesarean section, and the cesarean section operation itself requires strict aseptic operation, so infection will not occur.

You should wait for a week or half a month before having sex after the IUD surgery, otherwise it may cause cervicitis. After the IUD surgery, you need to pay attention to some simple matters to avoid infection:

1. Rest for 2 days after surgery and do not do heavy physical labor within 1 week;

2. Avoid sexual intercourse and bathing within 2 weeks after surgery and keep clean;

3. Pay attention to whether the intrauterine device is dislocated within 3 months after insertion, especially during sex or bowel movements;

Regular follow-up examinations are important to ensure the effectiveness of the intrauterine device. Once every 1-3 months, 6 and 12 months after surgery, and then once a year until it is removed or discontinued. Consult a doctor at any time for special circumstances.
