What is the best time for women to get an IUD?

The IUD is a very effective contraceptive tool. Generally, many people now choose contraceptive rings for contraception, which is a very good method for physical health. It can also make your sex life more harmonious. However, when choosing to have an IUD inserted, you should pay attention to choosing the right time to have it inserted, so that the effect will be more ideal. So when is the best time for a woman to get an IUD inserted? Let us introduce it below.

1. Under normal circumstances, women should have an IUD inserted within 3-7 days after their menstruation ends. At this time, the endometrium is thinner and is in the proliferation stage, and the slight damage caused by the IUD can be repaired quickly. In addition, the cervix is ​​tighter at this time, so it is not easy to fall off after insertion. To avoid infection, you should avoid sexual intercourse within one week before having the IUD inserted.

2. If an unexpected pregnancy occurs and an abortion is required, an IUD can be inserted immediately after the abortion. At this time, performing abortion and IUD insertion at the same time is not only convenient for women, but also reduces their psychological burden.

3. If it is during delivery, it can be placed during the postpartum check-up 42 days after delivery. Because at this time, the uterus has basically returned to its normal size before pregnancy, the cervix is ​​loose, and it is easy to insert the IUD. At the same time, if sexual life has not been resumed after delivery, hidden pregnancy can be ruled out.

4. If the delivery method is cesarean section, then it can be inserted during the cesarean section. At this time, the IUD can be placed in the best position of the uterus without increasing the patient's pain and mental burden, and can also avoid hidden pregnancy after delivery. In addition, the IUD insertion operation during cesarean section does not go through the vagina, and the cesarean section operation itself is strictly aseptic, so infection generally does not occur.

The above is the best time for women to get an IUD. If you get an IUD inserted during this time, it can have a very good contraceptive effect and will not have any effect on your health. What you should pay attention to after having the IUD inserted is that if some uncomfortable symptoms occur, you should remove the IUD in time or receive targeted treatment to avoid any adverse effects on your body.
