How many days after my wife got the IUD inserted can I have sex?

If a couple has undergone an IUD insertion, the man should be careful not to have sex too soon after the insertion to avoid hurting the woman's body, and he should also pay attention to the care methods after the insertion. Under normal circumstances, it usually takes a month for a woman to have sex after the IUD is inserted. It is best to check her physical condition after the IUD is inserted, so that there will be less harm to her body. Now let us understand when to have sex after your wife has had an IUD inserted.

How long after the IUD can I have sex?

Generally speaking, for the sake of women's health, doctors recommend that women should abstain from sexual intercourse for one week to half a month after the IUD surgery, because there will be a "running-in period" between the IUD and the female body. Starting sexual intercourse too early can cause the IUD to deviate or fall off, and can also easily lead to gynecological inflammation in women, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc.

After the IUD surgery, some female friends will have complications. For example, some women will have a small amount of vaginal bleeding. In order to prevent postoperative infection, it is best not to have sexual intercourse during the recovery period.

Generally speaking, women can have sexual intercourse about 30 days after the IUD is inserted. However, it should be noted that post-insertion care should still be taken seriously to avoid the IUD falling off and causing an unexpected pregnancy.

Pay attention to hygiene and healthy diet

Women must pay attention to their physical hygiene after the IUD is inserted. They should get more rest within 2 weeks, avoid strenuous physical activity, and eat nutritious foods, especially foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs and other foods.

When the IUD is first inserted, women may experience slight lower abdominal discomfort, back pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This is an inevitable complication, and those who wear contraceptive rings with tail threads generally should not use vaginal douching; actively treat vaginitis; refrain from sexual intercourse when there is vaginal bleeding; do not wear synthetic fiber underwear, do not use sanitary products that do not meet hygiene standards, wash the vulva every day, and change underwear; do not use other people's bathing basins and towels.

In order to take precautions after having an IUD inserted, women must pay more attention to their bodies and only have sex when they have recovered well.
