How long does it take to insert the IUD after cesarean section?

I believe that every woman is familiar with the contraceptive ring. It is a very practical infertility tool that can effectively prevent unwanted pregnancy. However, it is not easy to wear an IUD for a certain period of time. It needs to be worn at the right time to ensure the actual effect. So, how long after a caesarean section should I use an IUD?

The best time to insert an IUD for a caesarean section should be half a year. This is because although the IUD is an effective measure, it still has some mild side effects, such as low back pain and a small amount of bleeding. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the following after inserting the IUD:

1. The short-term bleeding after the placement of the ring is because the uterine wall is scratched when the contraceptive ring is placed. The bleeding usually lasts for several days. The blood volume does not exceed the menstrual volume and no solution is needed.

2. The contraceptive ring placed in the uterus is a foreign body to the uterus, especially when the ring is slightly larger or positioned lower. The uterus contracts to clear the foreign body, causing uterine contraction pain. The clinical symptoms are lower abdominal pain and back pain. Because the woman's body is relatively weak after cesarean section, she should wait until her body recovers before inserting the IUD. In addition, sexual intercourse should be strictly prohibited for a certain period of time after cesarean section. This is because the physiological changes of pregnant women after giving birth are great, especially the changes and trauma of the male reproductive organs after pregnancy and childbirth, which must go through some time to recover. Only after the pregnant woman has recovered can the couple have sex.

Common problems after IUD insertion

1. The short-term bleeding after the placement of the ring is because the uterine wall is scratched when the contraceptive ring is placed. The bleeding usually lasts for several days. The blood volume does not exceed the menstrual volume and no solution is needed.

2. The contraceptive ring placed in the uterus is a "foreign body" to the uterus. Especially when the ring is slightly larger or located lower, the uterus contracts to clear the "foreign body", causing uterine contraction pain. The clinical symptoms are lower abdominal pain and back pain.

Because the woman's body is relatively weak after cesarean section, she should wait until her body recovers before inserting the IUD. In addition, sexual intercourse should be strictly prohibited for a certain period of time after cesarean section. This is because the physiological changes of pregnant women after giving birth are great, especially the changes and trauma of the male reproductive organs after pregnancy and childbirth, which must go through some time to recover. Only after the pregnant woman has recovered can the couple have sex.

Therefore, for caesarean section, it is best to have sexual intercourse after 3 months. This time limit is considered from the perspective of female reproductive organ recovery and complete healing of surgical wounds. Now that we know the best time to insert an IUD for a cesarean section, under normal circumstances, the best time to choose to insert an IUD is within 7 days after the menstrual period ends and without sexual intercourse. Patients with acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis, and reproductive tract infection are not suitable for placement. They need to wait until they are fully recovered and choose an opportunity to place an IUD according to the doctor's advice. This is the most important point in the common problems before inserting an IUD.
