Can I get pregnant after having an IUD for several years?

If a female friend has taken measures to insert an IUD, generally there is no abnormality and she can conceive normally after the IUD is removed. However, if an infection occurs after the IUD is inserted or if it is damaged during the insertion period and is not treated in time, it will affect pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends should pay attention to this. Whether the IUD will affect pregnancy a few years later depends on everyone's sexual life and care measures.

Will having an IUD for two years affect pregnancy?

Generally, most women will not get pregnant after having an IUD inserted. The position of the ring should be checked immediately after insertion (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year after insertion). If you get pregnant with an IUD, you cannot have a medical abortion, only surgical abortion. If the IUD falls off after insertion, it is possible to get pregnant, and pregnancy during the IUD insertion period is likely to be an ectopic pregnancy. Patients with ectopic pregnancy must go to the hospital for treatment because ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous.

Women who have had an IUD inserted should have a checkup at least once a year to ensure that the IUD has not fallen off, in order to achieve the contraceptive effect. Many people think that a small ring can achieve the effect of contraception, which is incredible. In fact, it has a contraceptive principle. The ring affects the implantation of the fertilized egg or blastocyst, making it impossible for the fertilized egg or blastocyst to implant. Compared with other contraceptive methods, its advantages are obvious. For example, the operation is simple, non-invasive and has few side effects. The contraceptive duration is long. When you need to have a baby, you can take it out and you will get what you want soon.

Although it is the best method, it will eventually be accompanied by some adverse reactions. A small number of women may develop anemia due to poor metabolism. To prevent this from happening, the best way is to check hemoglobin at least once a year so that iron deficiency anemia can be detected early and treated in time. Only annual review can achieve truly healthy and safe contraception.

What food is good to eat after having an IUD inserted?

First of all, foods rich in iron include animal liver and kidney. Next are lean meat, egg yolks, chicken, fish, shrimp and beans. Green leafy vegetables that contain more iron include alfalfa, spinach, celery, rapeseed, amaranth, shepherd's purse, daylily, tomato, etc. Among fruits, apricots, peaches, plums, raisins, red dates, cherries, etc. contain more iron. Dried fruits include walnuts. Other foods such as kelp, brown sugar, and sesame paste also contain iron.

The absorption rate of iron in food is between 1% and 22%. The iron in animal food is easier to absorb and utilize than that in plant food. The absorption rate of iron in animal blood is the highest, ranging from 10% to 76%. The absorption rate of iron in liver and lean meat is 7%. Because of the presence of phosphoprotein and phosvitin in egg yolk, which combine with iron to form poorly soluble substances, the absorption rate of egg yolk iron is less than 3%. Although spinach and lentils are rich in iron, they contain phytic acid (also found in wheat flour and bran), which hinders the absorption of iron, and the absorption rate of iron is very low.

It has been proven that vitamin C, meat, fructose, amino acids, and fat can increase the absorption of iron, while tea, coffee, milk, plant acid, wheat bran, etc. can inhibit the absorption of iron. Therefore, the diet should pay attention to the reasonable combination of foods to increase the absorption of iron. You can eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C (such as apples, tomatoes, cauliflower, potatoes, cabbage, etc.).
