When is the best time to put the ring in?

Wearing an IUD is a long-term and effective contraceptive method. Although this contraceptive method will cause certain harm to women's bodies, its contraceptive effect is very good. Most women will wear an IUD when they do not plan to get pregnant again after giving birth, which can save a lot of condoms. So when is the best time for women to put the IUD in? Let's follow the editor to find out!

IUD insertion is a long-term contraceptive method. For some mothers who have just given birth, it is not good and unrealistic to get pregnant again at this time, because it is very harmful to the mother. Therefore, they will go to the hospital to have an IUD inserted. However, there are also some requirements for IUD insertion. It does not mean that you can have it inserted today if you want to. It also depends on your physical condition to see if it is suitable for you. But mothers generally don’t know when is the best time to have an IUD inserted.

1. Usually, most people have an IUD inserted after giving birth, because the cervix is ​​loose at this time and a second operation can be avoided. However, inserting an IUD immediately after delivery can easily cause infection, and it can easily fall off because the cervix is ​​too loose. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that the contents of the uterine cavity are completely cleared, bleeding is not excessive, and the uterus is well contracted before insertion.

2. If a cesarean section is performed, the IUD should be inserted immediately after the placenta is delivered. The advantage is that delivery and IUD placement can be completed at the same time, avoiding a second operation. The disadvantage is the high shedding rate. If there is irregular vaginal bleeding before the operation, heavy bleeding during the operation, poor uterine contraction, or suspected incomplete removal of uterine cavity contents, it is better to wait until the next menstruation to insert the IUD.

3. Immediate placement after abortion or curettage, when the cervix is ​​loose and a second surgery can be avoided. Compared with placement during the menstrual cycle, there is no increase in complications such as infection, bleeding, pregnancy, and shedding.

4. If women do not take contraceptive measures after having sex, or are worried about pregnancy due to accidents caused by contraceptive measures, and are ready to take long-term birth control measures, they can place a copper active contraceptive ring within 72 hours.

5. For mothers who have given birth for 42 days or have amenorrhea during lactation, if pregnancy is excluded and the uterine contraction has recovered well, the lochia has been clean for more than 5 days, and there is no uterine cavity or perineal infection, an intrauterine contraceptive ring can be placed to reduce pregnancy during lactation.

6. Immediate placement after the second trimester of pregnancy with non-vaginal surgery.

7. Within 3-7 days after the end of menstruation, because the chance of pregnancy is very small at this time; and the endometrium is in the proliferative stage, the endometrium is thin, and the chance of damage and bleeding after insertion is less.

If mothers want to get an IUD in the near future, they can look at their own stage and choose the most suitable time to get it done so as to reduce the harm to their body.
