When having sex, if a woman does not want to get pregnant yet, she will take good contraceptive measures. However, in order to have a long-lasting contraceptive effect, women will choose to have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted. The IUD has a longer effective period and is also safer. However, there are certain precautions that women need to understand in advance. So, can an IUD be inserted before menstruation?
It is possible to have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted before menstruation, which can achieve the purpose of contraception. However, for women with gynecological inflammation, it is not advisable to have an IUD immediately. After recovery, follow the doctor's advice and choose the appropriate time to have an IUD inserted. An intrauterine device (IUD) can be inserted 3-7 days after menstruation. The endometrium is relatively thin and less likely to cause bleeding, but corresponding examinations such as gynecological examination and blood routine examination need to be done before this.
For women who have just experienced childbirth, it is best to wait until three months after giving birth before inserting an intrauterine device. The intrauterine device (IUD) is a foreign body that requires a period of adaptation for the human body. Therefore, women's menstrual cycle may be affected, and there are often some side effects such as excessive menstrual flow and prolonged periods, which take about three months to recover.
After one month of getting an IUD, it is necessary to have a follow-up examination to observe whether the position of the IUD is normal and whether there is any downward movement or detachment. If there is any, it should be corrected in a timely manner. Regular follow-up examinations should also be conducted thereafter. If there are abnormalities such as increased menstrual flow or irregular menstruation, the IUD should be removed in a timely manner.
