Is it okay not to have an IUD after a caesarean section?

Caesarean section is a commonly used method of delivery in our current medicine. Because of the current family planning policy in our country, mothers need to have an IUD inserted after giving birth. However, many pregnant women who have caesarean section do not plan to have an IUD inserted due to physical reasons. So is it okay not to have an IUD inserted after a caesarean section? How long does it take to get the ring inserted?

1. The best time to wear an IUD after a caesarean section is six months later. Although wearing an IUD can be considered a long-term measure, there are still some minor side effects, such as lower back pain and a small amount of bleeding. Therefore, women should pay attention to the following points after having a caesarean section and having an IUD inserted.

2. The contraceptive ring placed in the female uterus is actually a "foreign body" for the uterus, especially when the ring is large or positioned relatively low. The uterus will contract in order to expel this "foreign body", causing uterine contractions and pain. The clinical symptoms are lower abdominal pain and back pain. After the IUD is placed, women may experience a small amount of bleeding for a period of time. This is because the endometrium is scratched when the contraceptive ring is placed. The bleeding will continue for a few days and does not require treatment.

3. Because women will be weaker after a caesarean section, they must wait until their bodies have recovered before putting on an IUD. After a caesarean section, you cannot have sexual intercourse for a period of time. Because the mother's body will undergo major physiological changes after childbirth, especially the reproductive organs, which need time to recover.

It is best for women who have had a caesarean section to wait three months before having sex. The main consideration is the recovery of female reproductive organs and the recovery of surgical wounds. Under normal circumstances, the time to choose to have an IUD inserted is after menstruation and when there is no sexual intercourse within a week.
