Can I have sex before IUD is inserted?

There are certain precautions when inserting an IUD. If these precautions are not carefully followed, many troubles will arise, including the issue of sexual intercourse. Some people say that sexual intercourse is allowed before the IUD is inserted, while others disagree. They think that sexual intercourse is not allowed and will lead to many diseases and even some serious consequences. So, is sexual intercourse allowed before the IUD is inserted?

Sexual intercourse is prohibited in the first three days after the IUD is inserted. It has nothing to do with wearing a condom. You can wait for a few days. If the best time to insert the IUD is 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over, you can insert the IUD. You can also insert it next month. It is recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse three days before the placement of the ring to avoid infection in women.

Before placing an IUD, we should generally avoid having sex with our spouse. If you have already had sex, these situations may occur:

The occurrence of inflammation. If the vagina and uterus are subjected to excessive friction and collision during intercourse before IUD insertion, it may cause inflammation.

Bacterial infection. Sexual intercourse is an important factor causing bacterial infection in the reproductive environment. Once bacterial infection occurs, the IUD surgery cannot be carried out smoothly.

Pregnancy with an IUD. If a couple has sex before the IUD is inserted and does not take proper contraceptive measures, allowing a fertilized egg to form and implant, the possibility of pregnancy with the IUD will greatly increase.

If some people have had sex before having an IUD, there is no need to panic. By doing the following two things, we can also reduce the harm of having sex before having an IUD:

Take good contraceptive measures. If you do not take appropriate protective measures during sex, you must take emergency contraceptive measures afterwards to ensure that the fertilized egg does not form during the insertion of the IUD;

Pay attention to personal hygiene. Be sure to clean your perineum with clean water after having sex to keep it clean.

If you have sex before having an IUD, there is a possibility of fertilization and pregnancy. If the fertilized egg happens to implant in the uterus before you have an IUD, even if you have an IUD, it may affect the development and growth of the improperly fertilized egg.
