How long after removing the IUD can I get another one inserted?

Inserting and removing IUDs are not unfamiliar to many mothers. Because the purpose of an IUD is to prevent pregnancy again, which means it has a contraceptive effect. Now that you understand how to insert an IUD, it will be easy to remove it. Many mothers do not want to have babies after removing the IUD, so they will undergo an IUD replacement surgery, but they do not know how long it will take to replace the IUD. So let's find out today, how long will it take to replace the IUD?

Preoperative precautions:

1. It is best to insert the IUD 3 to 7 days after the menstruation ends. Because this period is a safe period, the endometrium has just begun to form and the possibility of pregnancy is small; therefore, it is possible to avoid having an IUD inserted during pregnancy, which may cause uterine bleeding or miscarriage.

2. The best time to insert the IUD is when the uterus has returned to normal 6 weeks after delivery. Also, the best time to insert the IUD is within 7 days after normal menstruation after a miscarriage. For those who are in good condition six months after a cesarean section, the IUD can be inserted after the placenta is delivered. For emergency contraception, the IUD is inserted within 5 days after unprotected intercourse.

3. Patients with acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis, and sexually transmitted diseases should not have the IUD inserted. They should wait until they are cured and choose the right time to have the IUD inserted according to the doctor's advice. This is the most critical point to note before having the IUD inserted.

2. Postoperative precautions:

1. Side effects that may occur after the release of the ring. If the menstrual volume increases significantly after the IUD is placed, the menstrual period is significantly prolonged, or there is frequent small amount of bleeding, or there is severe lower back pain or abdominal pain, these are all abnormal phenomena and you should go to the hospital for examination.

2. Check regularly. Generally, the first check-up after the placement of the ring is after the first menstruation, the second check-up is within 3-6 months after the placement of the ring, and the third check-up is 12 months after the placement of the ring, and then it is checked once a year.

After reading this, I believe that mothers who want to have an IUD installed will have a better understanding of when is the best time to do so. IUD insertion is indeed a good contraceptive method. During that period, women must pay attention to their diet and remember not to eat spicy food to avoid discomfort. After having an IUD inserted, you should also pay attention to your own hygiene and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
