How long does it take for a woman to have an IUD inserted?

In life, many women choose to have an IUD inserted for contraception, which is currently the best contraceptive method. One of the most concerning issues for many women before getting an IUD is how long it will take to upload. Because many women are office workers and have tight schedules, too long a time will affect their normal work. If you want to know the time for IUD insertion, please continue reading and you will understand. At the same time, I also hope that female friends can understand more through the following introduction.

The IUD is the best choice for women to have a contraceptive. Experts say that the IUD should be inserted three months after a natural delivery, and six months after a caesarean section. Women who give birth naturally can have an IUD inserted if there are no abnormalities during the physical examination 42 days after delivery. However, they are strictly prohibited from participating in heavy physical labor within one week after the IUD is inserted.

Natural childbirth refers to a method of delivery in which the fetus is delivered vaginally without any artificial intervention, under the premise of safety. The most basic condition for natural childbirth is that the three factors that determine childbirth are: the labor force, birth canal and fetus are all normal and compatible with each other. When a pregnant woman decides to have a natural birth, she should first understand when the birth is expected and the entire process of delivery.

It is generally recommended to insert an IUD 42 days after a normal birth, and six months after a caesarean section. Although breastfeeding women do not have their periods, they may still be pregnant, which is what people usually call a "hidden pregnancy". Therefore, women who have not had their periods after giving birth should first ask a doctor to check whether they are pregnant. The IUD can only be inserted after it is confirmed that they are not pregnant. It is worth noting that when you go to the hospital to have an IUD inserted, you must tell the doctor clearly that you are breastfeeding. It is more appropriate to insert the IUD within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation ends. If there is gynecological inflammation, it should be treated actively and the IUD can be inserted only after the inflammation is cured. Regular check-ups should be done after the IUD is inserted.

In addition, sexual intercourse is prohibited within three weeks after the IUD is inserted. Please note that you should take a full rest within 3 days of the IUD insertion, and it is best to rest in bed. Avoid bathing in a tub within four weeks to prevent vaginal infection. However, showers and sponge baths are available. At the same time, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva to prevent infection.

It is generally believed that the IUD should be inserted within 7 days after the end of menstruation, preferably on the third or fourth day after the end of menstruation. Inserting the IUD after 7 days can easily cause bleeding, and it is very likely to coincide with early ovulation and result in pregnancy with the IUD. For this reason, those with longer menstrual periods should try to have the IUD inserted as early as possible. The IUD can also be inserted immediately after an artificial abortion. Women of childbearing age who are breastfeeding can generally wait until 3 months after giving birth to have an IUD inserted. Because menstruation generally does not occur in the first three months of breastfeeding, and the uterus has basically returned to normal at this time. For those who are absolutely reliable and consciously choose to practice birth control, some people postpone the time of IUD insertion until about half a year after delivery, or wait until the next menstruation occurs.

Now everyone should have a clear understanding of how long it takes for women to have an IUD. You don’t have to worry that it will affect your normal work, as it only takes a very short time. Today's medical technology is quite advanced, and the process of inserting an IUD will not be painful at all. All you need to do is cooperate with the doctor. You may need to rest for a while after the procedure.
