Can I get an IUD if I haven't given birth?

There are many contraceptive methods in life, and IUD is one of the most commonly used methods. Although IUD has many advantages, those who use it are generally women who have given birth. It is not recommended for women who have not given birth. IUD is a kind of surgery and it is harmful to women's bodies. Therefore, you should consider carefully when choosing a contraceptive method.

Can I get an IUD if I haven't given birth?

It is best not to have an IUD before having a child. The contraceptive effect of the IUD is also related to age. The pregnancy rate of women under 25 years old with the device is significantly higher than that of women over 30 years old.

Therefore, it is best for newly married women not to insert an IUD, because the vaginal opening of newly married women is tighter, and it will be more painful to endure an operation like inserting an IUD.

Secondly, since the cervix has not been dilated by childbirth or abortion, it will be more difficult to place it. The more important reason is that since newlywed women have not been pregnant (excluding unmarried pregnant women), their uterus is more sensitive to a foreign body like an IUD, and the uterus contracts in an attempt to expel the foreign body.

In addition, newlyweds have frequent sexual intercourse, which causes obvious uterine contractions. Therefore, the chance of the IUD falling out is greater than that of multiparous women. Since the uterine contractions caused by uterine rejection are bound to be strong, women will feel obvious abdominal pain, and some will find it unbearable and ask to have the IUD removed shortly after insertion.

How to prevent pregnancy for women who have never given birth

If you have never given birth to a child but might want to have a child in the future, it is suitable for you to use short-acting oral contraceptives, topical contraceptives (including female foams and gels), condoms, etc. In terms of contraceptive effectiveness, oral contraceptives > condoms > topical contraceptives. According to the feelings of both parties, oral contraceptives > topical contraceptives > condoms.

Taking birth control pills has side effects, but topical medications have basically no side effects; condoms are made of latex, and some people may be allergic to latex; early birth control pills have obvious side effects, so you must take third- and fourth-generation birth control pills, which have very little side effects and can also help smooth your skin. However, birth control pills need to be taken every day and you cannot forget, which is quite troublesome.

It is not recommended for women who have not given birth to use IUDs as a contraceptive method, because IUDs are not good for women who have not given birth. It is best for women not to choose such contraceptive measures.
