What department should I go to for the IUD?

If you want to have an IUD inserted, you must have a comprehensive physical examination and wait until your menstruation is completely over before you can have the operation. This is very important. Also, please note that if you have had a miscarriage before, you must wait for half a year to recover before having an IUD inserted. This can avoid unnecessary adverse reactions in your body after the operation.

(1) Placed 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 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 the endometrium is thin, 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) Placement 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) The IUD is inserted 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) The IUD is inserted after normal menstruation resumes after spontaneous abortion or artificial abortion with curettage.

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

(9) If the life of the previously placed ring has expired and a replacement ring is required, 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.

(10) It can be used for emergency contraception if inserted within 5 days after unprotected sex.

(11) It should be performed within 7 days after the end of menstruation, preferably on the third or fourth day after the end of menstruation.
