There are several ways for women to get an IUD

As a woman, you will know something about IUD insertion. I used to hear aunties around me who had IUD insertion say that it was a very painful thing and many people were unwilling to have it inserted. However, as people's views have changed, many women have chosen to have IUD insertion, which is also a very good measure for contraception. So, there are several ways for women to have IUD insertion. Let me introduce them to you below.

(1) Place it when menstruation has not yet ended. 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.

(2) Place it 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.

(3) 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.

(4) 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".

(5) The IUD can 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.

(6) Insertion of the IUD 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.

(7) Insertion of the IUD after normal menstruation resumes after spontaneous abortion or artificial abortion with curettage.

(8) If the caesarean section is performed or the operation has been performed for more than six months and the condition is normal, IUD insertion can also be considered.

(9) If the previously placed ring has expired and requires a replacement, a new ring can be inserted at the same time as the ring is removed. You can also insert a new ring after your next menstrual period is over. But you must remember to use contraception during the month after removing the IUD.

The above are several ways for women to get an IUD introduced to you. After reading them, you will have a certain understanding, so female friends who have not had an IUD please get one as soon as possible! However, everyone should still pay attention to the time of IUD insertion so as not to cause unnecessary harm without understanding.
