How long after the IUD is inserted?

The IUD is one of the most common methods of contraception. For women who do not want to have children, this method of contraception is a very good method. It is easy to place and will not affect daily life. The placement of the IUD is also a minor operation, so after placement you should pay attention to good conditioning to prevent infection. Generally speaking, you cannot have sex for one week to half a month. Let's take a look at this aspect.

How long after the IUD is inserted?

How long after the IUD is inserted can you have sex? After the IUD is inserted, sexual intercourse is prohibited for one week to half a month, because there will be a "running-in period" between the IUD and the female body. Starting sexual intercourse too early will cause the IUD to deviate or fall off, and it is also easy for women to suffer from gynecological inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc.

After the IUD surgery, some women will experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding. In order to prevent postoperative infection and protect your health, it is best not to have sex at this time.

Women can have sexual intercourse half a month after the IUD is inserted, but it should be noted that post-insertion care should be taken seriously to avoid the IUD falling off and causing an unexpected pregnancy.

Women should refer to their own specific circumstances and combine them with the doctor's advice so that they can have a good first sexual experience after the IUD is inserted.

Will having an IUD affect your sex life?

Many people worry that having an IUD inserted will affect their sex life. In fact, there is no absolute relationship between sex life and having an IUD inserted. Generally speaking, having an IUD inserted will not affect sex life.

Sexual life is related to the functions of the cerebral cortex and endocrine system. After the IUD is inserted, it is placed in the uterine cavity and plays a contraceptive role by improving the intrauterine environment. It does not affect the functions of other organs, so the placement of the IUD will not affect sexual life.

However, after the IUD is inserted, the human body needs some time to adapt, and the uterus will expel it by increasing contractions. Some women cannot adapt to the process of uterine contractions, so they will experience some uncomfortable symptoms, such as: vaginal bleeding, increased leucorrhea, mild back pain, etc. These side effects will have a certain impact on normal sexual life, but after the body adapts, complications will no longer exist and sexual life can return to normal.
