Do women need to have an IUD after giving birth?

For most first-time mothers, the question of whether to get an IUD after giving birth is something every couple will consider. In our country, it is advocated that a couple can only have one child, so it is very important to have an IUD inserted after giving birth. The following is a detailed introduction to whether a woman should have an IUD after giving birth. I hope it will be helpful to everyone:

1. If it is a normal birth, the IUD can be inserted three months after delivery. If it is a caesarean section, the IUD must be inserted six months after delivery. If menstruation resumes, the IUD should be inserted within 3-7 days after the menstruation ends. Use condoms before having an IUD inserted. Do not take birth control pills if you are breastfeeding.

2. For family planning, the country now advocates that a couple should only have one child. After having a child, the couple must take contraceptive measures. There are many contraceptive methods now. IUD is just a common contraceptive method for women. There are also subcutaneous implants, tubal ligation, long-acting contraceptive pills, etc. The contraceptive method depends on the physical condition of each person. If contraceptive measures are not taken, it will cause an unexpected pregnancy, and abortion or induced abortion in the future will cause greater harm to the woman's body.

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for women to have an IUD inserted after a normal delivery or 42 days after delivery, because at this time, through postpartum nourishment, the physical condition is slightly better, and the uterus has also recovered a lot, so this time is still relatively good. There is another situation that when we women have menstruation after childbirth, we must wait until the menstruation is over before inserting the IUD, which should be three to seven days after the menstruation is over, and we should pay attention to not having sexual intercourse during the IUD insertion period.

Most couples only wanted one child and responded to the country's call. Although taking birth control pills is a good method of contraception, taking birth control pills for a long time can cause great harm to women's bodies. I think everyone wants to have a good body. Therefore, having an IUD inserted after delivery is a very important issue. The above are some materials prepared for you, let’s take a look!
