When is the best time to get an IUD?

After years of clinical medical practice, it has been proven that the IUD is one of the safest and most effective contraceptive measures. It is also economical and simple, causes the least harm to women's bodies, and provides the greatest protection. Therefore, many women in China choose to use IUD as an effective contraceptive method. So, when is the best time to get an IUD? Choose the best time to give your body the best protection.

The main advantages of the IUD are:

1. The operation is simple, non-traumatic, and has few side effects. Some initial symptoms may include low back pain, lower abdominal discomfort, increased leucorrhea, prolonged menstrual period, and increased menstrual volume, but these symptoms will disappear on their own over time.

2. The effect is reliable and the contraceptive success rate is high.

3. The contraceptive duration is long. The metal ring can generally be placed for 10-15 years. The plastic ring has poor elasticity, small supporting force, and is easy to deform and fall off, so it can also be placed for about five years.

4. When you need to have a baby, take it out and you will get what you want soon.

5. It has no impact on sexual life and is harmless to the body.

When is the best time to insert an IUD? Healthy women who are not pregnant can use the IUD at any time except during menstruation, but the following times are the most suitable:

1. 3 to 7 days after menstruation ends. Because this period is a safe period, the endometrium has just begun to form and the possibility of pregnancy is small; therefore, it is possible to avoid having an IUD inserted during pregnancy, which may cause uterine bleeding or miscarriage.

2. Have an IUD inserted at the same time as an artificial abortion. At this time, it is easy to loosen the cervix and insert the ring, and two operations can be avoided.

3. After a miscarriage, if you have had your period once, or three months after a full-term birth, or more than six months after a caesarean section, you can have an IUD inserted.

4. If there are no symptoms when the intrauterine contraceptive device expires, you can replace it with a new one at the same time to avoid two operations.

Choosing the best time to insert an IUD is responsible for your own health and is a wise choice for women. Of course, after having the IUD inserted, you need to rest properly, abstain from sexual intercourse for two weeks, and keep the vulva clean. Regular follow-up check-ups are required after surgery to check for any dislocation or displacement to ensure that contraceptive measures are effective. In addition, if you feel unwell, consult a doctor immediately.
