How long after the IUD is inserted can I have sex?

The IUD, also known as the IUD, is a birth control method invented to solve the problem of unwanted pregnancy and control the population. Currently, the IUD is very popular in life, and most women who have given birth are willing to choose the IUD for birth control. However, although IUD insertion is simple, there are many things to pay attention to, such as how long should you wait before you can have sex after the insertion?

Generally, the IUD is inserted 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. You cannot have sex 3 days before the IUD is inserted, and you cannot have sex, take a bath, or do heavy physical labor for half a month after the IUD is inserted. You should go to the hospital for a checkup in the first, third, and sixth months after the IUD is inserted, and at least once a year thereafter.

Women can have sexual intercourse half a month after the IUD is inserted, but we need to pay attention to the post-insertion care to avoid the IUD falling off and causing an unexpected pregnancy.

Things to note after having the ring inserted:

1. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up after the first menstrual period after the placement of the IUD, because some people's menstrual flow will increase in the early stage after the placement of the IUD, and the blood flow may wash away the IUD or cause it to be incorrectly positioned. In order to ensure the birth control effect, it is best to go to the hospital or family planning department for a B-ultrasound. Check again after three months. If there is no abnormality, check once a year thereafter.

2. Bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited within half a month after the insertion of the IUD, because there will be a small amount of bleeding after the operation. In order to prevent postoperative infection, such medical regulations have been made.

3. If a woman’s menstruation does not come for 1-2 months after the placement of the IUD, she should be alert to the possibility of pregnancy and go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible.

4. If there is a lot of menstrual bleeding after inserting the ring, it is likely to wash away the ring, and at this time there will be a feeling of heaviness and bloating in the lower abdomen. Women who are menstruating must carefully check whether there is any fallen contraceptive ring in their menstrual blood. If you find that it has fallen off, you can put the ring again if there are no contraindications.
