After giving birth, people may temporarily not want to have children, so they will search for the best postpartum contraception method. Some people say that it is not easy to conceive during breastfeeding, while others choose to take long-term contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy. So, how should we prevent pregnancy after giving birth? Let's discuss together!
How to use contraception after giving birth to a baby
Most people choose to have an IUD inserted.
The golden period suitable for intrauterine device (IUD) insertion: For those who have amenorrhea 42 days after childbirth or during lactation, if pregnancy is excluded and uterine contractions have recovered well, lochia has been clean for more than 5 days, and there is no uterine cavity or perineal infection, an IUD can be placed to reduce lactation pregnancy. But due to the fragility and thinness of the uterine muscle layer, care should be taken when placing it to avoid perforation.
What are the advantages of using an intrauterine device for contraception
The intrauterine device (IUD) is a safe, effective, economical, convenient, and highly reversible contraceptive measure. Its main advantages are:
1. The surgery is simple, non-invasive, and has minimal side effects. Some may initially present with lower back pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, increased vaginal discharge, prolonged menstruation, and increased menstrual flow. However, as time goes on, these symptoms will disappear on their own.
2. The effect is reliable and the success rate of contraception is high.
3. The contraceptive time is long. Metal rings can generally be left for 10-15 years, while plastic rings can be left for about five years due to poor elasticity, low support, and easy deformation and detachment.
4. When you need to have children, take them out and you will soon achieve your wish.
5. No impact on sexual life, harmless to the body
After giving birth to a baby, many people choose various contraceptive methods for contraception, but the truly effective and least harmful contraceptive method is the intrauterine device (IUD), which is also a relatively ancient method. There are also some obvious advantages to other contraceptive methods, so you can choose this method!
