Is it easy to get an ectopic pregnancy after having an IUD inserted? What side effects will there be?

In our country, everyone is practicing family planning. Many urban women have to use IUDs for contraception. Some people are often not very adaptable to IUDs, which can cause bleeding. In fact, IUDs cannot guarantee that you will not get pregnant. So many people often worry about ectopic pregnancy after having IUDs. What kind of impact will it cause? The following article will introduce it to you.

As a contraceptive method preferred by most women, in addition to knowing the side effects of IUD insertion, you also need to know the precautions after insertion, which is a manifestation of being responsible for yourself. Otherwise, if you have health problems in the future, you will be the one who suffers.

1. Generally, you can have sex one week after the IUD is inserted, and make sure to get enough rest. After the IUD surgery, you need to stay away from sex for a week to half a month, because there will be a "running-in period" between the IUD and you. Starting sexual intercourse too early can cause the IUD to deviate or fall off, and can also lead to gynecological inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc. In addition, you should pay close attention to whether the ring falls off during menstruation or bowel movements within six months. It is best to go to the hospital for X-ray observation of the ring once a year, pay attention to menstrual regularity, and seek treatment from a gynecologist if necessary.

2. A significant increase in menstrual volume, a significant extension of the menstrual period, frequent small amounts of bleeding, and severe lower back and abdominal pain are all abnormal phenomena and should be checked in the hospital.

3. If you find that your vaginal bleeding is heavy, more than twice the normal menstrual blood volume or the bleeding duration is longer, or the changes in your menstrual cycle are obvious, you should go to the hospital for examination. During the first 3 months, you should also pay attention to whether the ring falls off.

4. Pay close attention to whether the ring falls off during menstruation or bowel movements within six months. It is best to go to the hospital for an X-ray observation of the ring once a year. If you still experience a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, back pain, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or menstrual blood volume that is twice the normal amount after 7 months of having the IUD inserted, you should see a doctor. If there is no improvement, the IUD should be removed and other contraceptive methods should be used instead.

5. It is strictly forbidden to participate in heavy physical labor within one week after the IUD is inserted, and sexual intercourse is prohibited within three weeks. This is a key precaution when having sex after the IUD is inserted. Underwater work and jumping exercises, such as track and field sports, water sports, and fast-paced dancing, are prohibited within five weeks.

6. After the IUD is inserted, you should pay attention to nutrition and eat more iron-rich foods to prevent anemia caused by excessive menstrual blood. When having sex after the IUD is inserted, you should also pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva to prevent infection.

In fact, generally speaking, IUD insertion is the best way of contraception and it does not have many side effects. However, some women often have irregular menstruation, which is also caused by IUD insertion. After the insertion, you should eat more nutritious foods. Ectopic pregnancy will not occur after IUD insertion.
