Do I need to take contraceptive measures after having an IUD inserted?

Cohabitation before marriage is a relatively common phenomenon. Before you plan to have children before marriage, you must take various contraceptive measures. This is a way of self-protection and a form of disease prevention. Currently, a relatively effective contraceptive method for married life is IUD insertion. Of course, many people have certain doubts about this method. Let us now understand whether contraceptive measures are still needed after IUD insertion?

In principle, this is not necessary. There are also the following precautions

1. Get adequate rest and avoid excessive physical labor. Generally, you should rest for 1-2 days after the ring is placed. Do not do heavy physical labor within a week to avoid the ring falling off and bleeding.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid infection. After the IUD is placed, the vulva should be washed every day to keep it clean. Do not take a bath in a basin within 2 weeks and do not have sexual intercourse within 2 weeks to avoid infection.

3. Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and shedding of the ring. If you find that your vaginal bleeding is heavy, more than twice the normal menstrual blood volume or the bleeding lasts longer, or the changes in your menstrual cycle are obvious, you should go for a check-up in time. During the first 3 months, you should also pay attention to whether the ring falls off.

4. Check regularly. Generally, the first check-up after the placement of the ring is after the first menstruation, the second check-up is within 3-6 months after the placement of the ring, and the third check-up is 12 months after the placement of the ring, and then it is checked once a year.

5. Possible side effects after IUD insertion. If the menstrual flow increases significantly after the IUD is placed, the menstrual period is significantly prolonged, or there is frequent small amount of bleeding, as well as severe back pain and abdominal pain, these are all abnormal phenomena.

6. Pay attention to nutritional supplements. Appropriately increase nutrition, especially eat more foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidney, eggs and other foods. You can also eat more soy products, increase vegetables and fresh fruits. Generally, the above dietary conditioning can effectively prevent the physical energy consumption caused by the side effects of IUD.

IUD insertion is a contraceptive measure. So do you still need to take contraceptive measures after having it inserted? There is no need to take any contraceptive measures, but in order to avoid various adverse reactions caused by the insertion of the IUD, we should pay attention to the above methods, have regular check-ups and pay attention to our own lives.
