What should I do if I have sex in the past seven days?

For female friends, IUD is an effective and long-term contraceptive measure. However, although IUD insertion is a very minor operation, women still need to pay attention to many issues after the operation. Among them, rooming together is one of them. For female friends, it is actually not suitable to have sex after just having an IUD inserted. Because at this time, your uterus is still relatively sensitive and problems may easily occur during sexual intercourse. So, what should I do if I have sex within seven days after having my IUD inserted?

What should I do if I have sex in the past seven days?

The IUD generally has a contraceptive effect. If you have sex 10 days after the IUD is placed in your uterus, the chance of pregnancy is low. If the IUD is out of position, there is a possibility of pregnancy. It is currently impossible to determine whether the condition is caused by pregnancy, so as to avoid delaying the disease.

After the IUD placement surgery, sexual intercourse is prohibited for one week to half a month, because there will be a "running-in period" between the IUD and the female body. Starting sexual intercourse too early will cause the IUD to deviate or fall off, and it may also easily cause women to suffer from gynecological inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc.

After the IUD surgery, some women will experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding. In order to prevent postoperative infection and protect your health, it is best not to have sex at this time.

Therefore, women need to be cautious if they want to have sexual intercourse seven days after the IUD is inserted. It is best to have sexual intercourse half a month after the IUD is inserted. However, it should be noted that post-insertion care should still be taken seriously to avoid the IUD falling off and causing an unexpected pregnancy.

Women should refer to their own specific circumstances and combine them with the doctor's advice so that they can have a good first sexual experience after the IUD is inserted.

What should you pay attention to after having the IUD inserted?

(1) Get adequate rest. Avoid excessive physical labor. Generally, you should rest for 1-2 days after the IUD is inserted and avoid heavy physical labor within a week to avoid the IUD falling off and bleeding.

(2) Pay attention to hygiene. Avoid infection. After the IUD is inserted, the vulva should be washed every day to keep it clean. Do not take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks and do not have sexual intercourse within 2 weeks to avoid infection.

(3) Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and the shedding of the ring. If you find that your vaginal bleeding is heavy, more than twice the normal menstrual blood volume or the bleeding duration is long, or the changes in the menstrual cycle are obvious, you should go to the hospital for examination. During the first 3 months, you should also pay attention to whether the ring falls off.

(4) Regular inspection. Generally, the first check-up after IUD insertion is after the first menstruation, the second check-up is within 3-6 months after insertion, and the third check-up is 12 months after insertion, and then it will be checked once a year.

(5) Possible side effects after insertion. If the menstrual volume increases significantly after the IUD is inserted, the menstrual period is significantly prolonged, or there is frequent small amount of bleeding, as well as severe lower back pain and abdominal pain, these are all abnormal phenomena and you should go to the hospital for examination.

(6) Pay attention to nutritional supplements. After the IUD is inserted, you should pay attention to dietary conditioning, increase nutrition appropriately, especially eat more foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs and other foods. You can also eat more soy products, increase vegetables and fresh fruits. Generally, the above dietary conditioning can effectively prevent the physical energy consumption caused by the side effects of IUD insertion.
