What should I pay attention to when I just got an IUD inserted?

Nowadays, there are more and more birth control and contraceptive methods, especially for female friends. If contraceptive measures are not taken in time, it is very likely to cause women to get pregnant unexpectedly. After the unexpected pregnancy, whether it is to have an abortion or to give birth to the child, it will bring some harm to the body and affect daily life. Many people will go to the hospital to get an IUD. What are the precautions after the IUD is installed?

1. There may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after insertion, which will mostly disappear on their own; the main complication of intrauterine contraceptive ring placement is bleeding. The main symptoms are excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, irregular menstrual bleeding, etc. Generally speaking, there will always be a small amount of bleeding after the ring is placed, but it will not exceed one week. If the bleeding lasts for more than a week, or the amount of bleeding is as much as menstrual flow, it is an abnormal reaction. If there is heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, or fever, you should go to a medical institution for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

2. Do not do heavy physical labor within a week; rest in bed within three days. Exerting too much can cause bleeding and inflammation.

3. Bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited within half a month after the operation.

4. Within 3 months after placement, pay attention to less activity and avoid heavy physical activities, including walking around for a long time, sitting or standing for a long time, etc. If the menstrual flow is likely to increase, you should pay attention to whether the contraceptive device falls off during menstruation. Do not have sex or take a bath in a tub if there is vaginal bleeding.

5. If any of the following situations occur, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately: severe abdominal pain, fever, pelvic pain, increased vaginal discharge; menstruation has not stopped or there is a possibility of pregnancy; the IUD falls off; pain during sexual intercourse; excessive bleeding or irregular bleeding or bleeding that does not stop, etc.

Many women think that the IUD is permanent after it is inserted, so they will never go to the hospital to remove it. However, this behavior is actually wrong, because no matter what kind of IUD it is, it has a certain service life. If it exceeds a certain period of time, it will cause harm to the body and may even cause gynecological diseases.
