Best time to go to Sheung Wan

1. Within seven days after the end of menstruation

The endometrium is still in the growth stage at this time, and the minor damage caused by the IUD can be eliminated in a short time. In addition, since the cervix is ​​tighter at this time, the "ring" is less likely to fall off. However, please note that you cannot have sex before the IUD is inserted.

2. After artificial abortion

If a woman needs to have an abortion due to an unexpected pregnancy, she can have an IUD inserted immediately after the abortion. Completing the two major operations at one time is not only convenient, but also makes women feel more at ease.

3.7 days after spontaneous abortion and menstruation resumes

Women who experience spontaneous abortion can have an IUD inserted within 7 days of the resumption of menstruation.

4. Six weeks after a normal birth

Women who give birth naturally can have an IUD inserted during their six-week checkup. At this time, the uterus is almost the same size as before pregnancy, and the cervix is ​​not too tight, making it easier to insert an IUD. In addition, since the couple has not resumed sexual intercourse at this time, accidental pregnancy can also be avoided.

5. During caesarean section or six months after delivery

If a woman has a caesarean section, the ring can be inserted during delivery. At this time, the best place can be chosen to insert the IUD, and it will not cause extra pain or mental pressure to the mother. Cesarean section is a sterile operation, and inserting an IUD at this time will not cause infection to the body. Of course, women can also wait until six months after giving birth and are in good health to have an IUD inserted.

6. Emergency contraception

If you do not take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse, you can get an IUD for emergency contraception within 5 days.
