Nowadays, unlike before, the phenomenon of getting pregnant before marriage often seemed unbelievable and difficult for people to accept. Nowadays, the phenomenon of unmarried pregnancy is common and not surprising. Some friends choose to use an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception, which is safer and more scientific. So, what should they pay attention to after using an IUD?
What to pay attention to after putting on the contraceptive ring
Firstly, it is important to take full rest within 3 days after inserting an intrauterine device (IUD), preferably in bed. It is strictly prohibited to participate in heavy physical labor within one week after inserting an intrauterine device. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within 3 weeks after inserting an intrauterine device. Avoid taking a bath within 4 weeks after inserting an intrauterine device to prevent infection caused by not entering the vagina. But it can be used for showering and bathing. Within 5 weeks after inserting an intrauterine device, it is prohibited to engage in underwater activities such as track and field, water sports, and fast-paced dancing. Within six months after the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), close attention should be paid to whether the IUD falls off during menstruation or defecation. It is best to go to the hospital once a year for X-ray observation of the IUD.
Secondly, pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia to prevent infection.
Thirdly, after inserting an intrauterine device, pay attention to menstrual regularity and seek treatment from a gynecologist if necessary. Pay attention to nutrition after getting an intrauterine device (IUD) and eat more iron rich foods to prevent anemia caused by excessive menstrual blood flow.
Fourthly, if there is still a feeling of lower abdominal heaviness, lower back pain, vaginal bleeding, and menstrual blood volume exceeding twice the normal level after 7 months of using an intrauterine device (IUD), it is necessary to seek medical treatment. If there is no improvement, the IUD should be removed and other contraceptive methods should be used instead. It is normal to experience lower abdominal discomfort within 3-6 months after inserting an intrauterine device (IUD).
What is good to eat for contraception
Firstly, carrots. We all know that carrots are commonly seen in our daily lives. They are rich in a large number of nutrients, the most abundant of which are carotenoids and various vitamins, which are very beneficial to human health. However, studies have found that excessive intake of carotenoids, which are rich in carrots, can easily cause ovulation and even lead to amenorrhea. In other words, carrots are a food that helps with contraception.
Secondly, coffee. Coffee is a casual beverage, and now there are many female friends who enjoy drinking coffee. Research has shown that although coffee is delicious, it can have a direct impact on fertility. People who drink at least one cup of coffee a day are only half as likely to get pregnant as those who do not drink coffee. This also indicates that coffee is an effective contraceptive food. Female friends who want to prevent pregnancy may want to give it a try, but it should be noted that coffee has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system and should not be consumed too much.
Overall, after getting an intrauterine device (IUD), it is important to rest well, avoid engaging in too many heavy activities or putting too much pressure on oneself, and try to relax as much as possible. After getting an intrauterine device, it is important to plan your own fertility. At the same time, both husband and wife should respect each other, understand each other, tolerate each other, and maintain harmonious marital relationships.
