When chatting with women of childbearing age, it is common to hear them discussing the matter of having an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted after childbirth. But some women who have never given birth are confused about these things and cannot understand what they are talking about, so they can only awkwardly cooperate and hum. What does it mean to have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted after childbirth?
Postpartum women definitely do not want to conceive immediately, so they need to take some scientifically reasonable contraceptive measures, and the intrauterine device is the first choice. The meaning of postpartum intrauterine device (IUD) insertion is to actively wear an IUD after childbirth to achieve the purpose of contraception. However, it is not recommended for women to have an intrauterine device immediately after childbirth, as the uterus needs some time to recover. It is best to have the IUD inserted after 42 days when the uterus has recovered.
Before inserting an intrauterine device (IUD), it is necessary to examine the female reproductive system to eliminate inflammation and infection before performing the procedure. After getting an IUD, most women do not feel any obvious discomfort, except for a very small number of women who may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, bleeding, and increased vaginal discharge. But don't be afraid, these symptoms will disappear once the uterus adapts to the presence of the intrauterine device.
But if these uncomfortable symptoms persist for a long time and there is also an increase in menstrual flow, it proves that one's physical condition is not suitable for using an intrauterine device and should be removed in a timely manner. But after removing the intrauterine device, it is important to take contraceptive measures to avoid unintended pregnancy.
