When is the best time to use the IUD?

I believe that for many female friends who have already given birth, while enjoying sex life, they need to pay attention to finding some simple and quick contraceptive methods. Of course, many women have completely given up the idea of ​​taking birth control pills because they will always have adverse effects on the body. So when is the best time to insert an IUD? Regarding this question, please join me in taking a look at it in the following time.

1. The contraceptive principle of the contraceptive ring

When an embryo wants to implant in the uterus, the constantly moving contraceptive ring scrapes the uterine wall, causing aseptic inflammation of the uterus, making it impossible for the embryo to implant normally in the uterus and conceive, thus causing miscarriage to achieve the purpose of contraception.

2. Timing of placement of the contraceptive ring

In fact, at present, apart from the contraindications of IUD placement, there are few restrictions on the time of IUD placement. After a lot of practice and scientific appraisal, relevant experts believe that IUD placement is safe and feasible during the following periods:

Insert when menstruation is not over. It should be placed on the 3rd to 5th day of menstruation. There are three advantages during this period: first, the cervix is ​​loose and easy to insert. Secondly, since menstruation has just arrived, pregnancy can be ruled out and the ring will not be mistakenly placed in a pregnant uterus. Third, it avoids the concerns and inconveniences caused to women by the small amount of bleeding after the IUD is inserted.

Place after menstruation is over. It is best to have the IUD inserted 3-7 days after the menstruation ends and when there is no sexual history, because at this time the endometrium is just beginning to grow and is thinner, so bleeding can be avoided during insertion. At the same time, not having sexual intercourse after menstruation also avoids the possibility that the fertilized egg has grown on the endometrium when the IUD is inserted. Generally, most women choose to have the IUD inserted at this time.

The IUD is inserted immediately after delivery. At this time, the insertion operation is simple and easy, and contraceptive measures can be implemented in time, but it must be inserted after examination and approval by an obstetrician.

Placed 42 days after delivery. That is, it should be placed during a health check around 42 days after delivery. The advantages of placing it at this time are: first, the cervix is ​​loose. Second, the uterus has returned to its normal size and has not shrunk due to breastfeeding for too long. Third, timely implementation of contraceptive measures is convenient for women and can avoid the occurrence of "hidden pregnancy".

The IUD can also be inserted more than three months after delivery. However, it should be noted that if this time is the breastfeeding period, although there is no menstruation, there is still a possibility of pregnancy, which is what people usually call "hidden pregnancy". Therefore, women who have not had menstruation after delivery should first ask a doctor to check whether they are pregnant. Only when it is confirmed that they are not pregnant can the IUD be inserted.

The IUD is inserted immediately after artificial abortion or forceps curettage. The advantage is that contraceptive measures can be implemented in one operation, which reduces pain and is more convenient for women.

The above paragraphs provide us with a good introduction to the best time to use the IUD. I believe that friends who have read the above content carefully will have a deeper understanding and experience of this question. Of course, I would like to remind everyone again that when we insert an IUD, we must go to a regular hospital and have the operation performed by a professional doctor. Never go to street vendors.
