How long after pregnancy can I have sex?

At present, the IUD is still the most common method of contraception. The economic cost of the IUD is relatively low, the safety is high, and the use period is relatively long, so it has become the first choice for women who have already given birth. However, the IUD needs to be well maintained for a period of time after wearing it, such as abstaining from sexual intercourse for a period of time. How long is this period of time? Let’s take a look at it together below.

1: It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse within one week

After the IUD is inserted, women may feel mild back pain and soreness, as well as vaginal bleeding, increased leucorrhea and other symptoms. You cannot have sexual intercourse immediately at this time to avoid causing damage to the reproductive system and affecting women's health. Once your body gets used to the IUD, these symptoms will gradually ease, and you can then have sex.

2. Other precautions after wearing the ring

1. There may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal discomfort after insertion, which will mostly disappear on their own; the main complication of intrauterine contraceptive ring placement is bleeding. The main symptoms are excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, irregular menstrual bleeding, etc. Generally speaking, there will always be a small amount of bleeding after the ring is placed, but it will not exceed one week. If the bleeding lasts for more than a week, or the amount of bleeding is as much as menstrual flow, it is an abnormal reaction. If there is heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, or fever, you should go to a medical institution for diagnosis and treatment;

2. Do not do heavy physical labor within a week; rest in bed within three days. Exerting too much can cause bleeding and inflammation.

After reading the above, I believe you have already understood that it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse one week after wearing the IUD, but this is not an absolute standard. It varies according to people's physical constitution. Generally speaking, you can have a normal sexual life after the body adapts to the IUD. You should go to the hospital for a check-up within one month of wearing the IUD to see if the position of the IUD is correct.
