Can I get an IUD after having sex?

You can have an IUD inserted after having sex, but you cannot have sex within one month after the insertion. This is mainly because having sex after the IUD insertion can cause bleeding and infection. I hope female friends can pay attention to this. It will not affect having an IUD inserted after having sex, because an IUD inserted after having sex cannot have a contraceptive effect. Therefore, if you have sex first, the IUD cannot prevent the sperm from combining with the egg. If you want to prevent pregnancy, you should have an IUD inserted first.

Can I have an IUD after having sex?

The IUD can be inserted after sex, but there are certain time constraints when inserting the IUD after sex. Women who are worried about pregnancy after having sex because they did not take contraceptive measures, or because of accidents with contraceptive measures (such as condom breaking), and are ready to take long-term birth control measures, can have a copper active contraceptive device placed within 72 hours. If you miss the best time to have an IUD inserted and you happen to be pregnant, you cannot have it inserted at this time.

With current medical and research technology, there is no 100% effective contraceptive method. If menstruation stops after the placement of a copper intrauterine contraceptive device, a urine pregnancy test should be performed in time to rule out pregnancy with the device. If menstrual flow decreases or menstruation stops after the placement of a levonorgestrel sustained-release system, a urine pregnancy test can be performed to rule out pregnancy the first time it happens. After that, it can be regarded as a reaction after placement, and menstruation will resume quickly after removal.

Postoperative Care

1. Rest for 3 days after the operation, avoid heavy physical labor within 1 week, avoid sexual intercourse and bathing within 2 weeks, and keep the vulva clean.

2. Within three months after the placement of the IUD, you should pay attention to whether the intrauterine contraceptive device is dislodged during menstruation and after defecation; those who have a tail-wire IUD should not use vaginal tampons during menstruation.

3. Understand the type of IUD, its usage period, and follow-up time. Check the IUD 3 to 5 days after the first menstrual period, and then check regularly thereafter. Follow-up examinations should be conducted 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the operation, and once a year thereafter. Follow-up examinations should generally be arranged after the menstruation is over.

4. It is normal to have a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after insertion. If you experience heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, fever, abnormal vaginal discharge, etc., you should seek medical attention immediately.
