Can I get an IUD inserted directly after having an abortion?

At present, IUD is the most common contraceptive method for married women. It is relatively simple and convenient to use. It mainly prevents the fertilized egg from implanting in the endometrium. In daily life, many women who have given birth will choose to use IUD for contraception. If they get pregnant unexpectedly, they need to have an artificial abortion. Then, can they have an IUD inserted directly after the abortion? Let's learn about this aspect below.

Can I get an IUD inserted directly after having an abortion?

When it comes to the question of whether an IUD can be inserted directly after an abortion, I believe this is also a question that many women are confused about, because most women would think that abortion is an operation and IUD insertion is also an operation. If an IUD is inserted directly after an abortion, the harm caused by a second operation can be avoided. But I can tell you for sure that it is generally not recommended to have an IUD inserted immediately after an abortion.

Can I have an IUD inserted directly after having an abortion? Women who have just had an abortion are very weak. If an IUD is inserted under such circumstances, it will take more time for the body to gradually recover after the operation, and it may also increase the risk of postoperative infection. Therefore, it is generally recommended to have the first menstruation after the operation, and go to the hospital to have an IUD inserted within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation ends. This is the most reasonable time.

What are the precautions for going up the ring?

(1) In order to avoid infection after IUD insertion, female friends must pay attention to keeping the external vagina clean after the operation. They need to change their underwear every day and wash their lower body with warm water. In addition, they need to refrain from sexual intercourse within one month after the operation to prevent cross infection.

(2) After the operation, the cervix is ​​relatively loose. In order to prevent the contraceptive ring from falling off, you should stay in bed for 2 to 3 days after the operation. You should not do heavy physical work within half a month to avoid sudden increase in abdominal pressure that may cause the ring to fall off.

(3) You should go to the hospital for a checkup about one month after the operation, and you should have regular checkups every year thereafter to prevent the contraceptive ring from moving or deforming, which could cause harm to your health.

The above is the introduction about whether you can have an IUD inserted directly after an abortion. Female friends need to treat this issue with caution, and for the sake of their health, they must pay attention to relevant care measures after the IUD is inserted to help the body gradually return to normal. Do not think that abortion is just a common remedy for contraceptive failure, and that you can choose any abortion you want as long as it does not have any bad effects on your body after an unexpected pregnancy. Little do you know that such harm is lurking in the body waiting to cause disease, and the damage to your health is slowly showing up, making women regret it.
