Some women have already completed their life tasks of getting married and having children, so they are preparing to "seal their stomachs", which means they will no longer be pregnant or have children. For safe, effective, and convenient contraception, many women choose to place an intrauterine device (IUD) in their body. However, there is also a time requirement for IUD placement. So, how long after giving birth can the IUD be inserted?
At present, there are only two ways to give birth: vaginal delivery, where the baby is delivered through the female vagina, or cesarean section, where the uterus is cut open to give birth. Because the recovery time required for the two delivery methods is different, the time for inserting the intrauterine device is also different. But if it's a vaginal delivery, barring any unforeseen circumstances, an intrauterine device can be inserted three months after delivery.
If it is a woman who has undergone a cesarean section, it is recommended to consider placing an intrauterine device (IUD) 6 months after the surgery due to the relatively long postpartum recovery time. This can minimize the impact of the surgery on the body. So before placing an intrauterine device, condoms can be used for contraception, which is relatively safe, reliable, and hygienic.
After placing an intrauterine device (IUD) in the body, some women may experience recurrent vaginitis or cervicitis due to improper surgical procedures or inadequate self-care. This requires going to the hospital for examination, confirming the cause, and then receiving targeted treatment. Generally, recovery can be achieved quickly without excessive pressure or worry.
