What are the precautions for women after inserting an IUD? How long after inserting an IUD can sexual intercourse resume?
Generally speaking, after inserting an IUD, one should rest for at least two weeks and avoid strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse in the short term. After inserting an IUD, personal hygiene must be paid attention to, and promiscuity is prohibited; for those with tail threads on the inserted contraceptive ring, vaginal irrigation is generally not recommended; if vaginitis occurs, it should be treated actively.
Sexual intercourse is prohibited when there is bleeding from the vagina. Usually, synthetic underwear should not be worn, unqualified sanitary products should not be used, the external genitalia should be washed daily, and underwear should be changed regularly; bath basins and towels of others should not be used. Only by carefully doing a good job of self-hygiene care after inserting an IUD in life can pelvic infection be prevented and future fertility maintained.
If vaginal bleeding persists or pelvic inflammatory disease occurs after inserting an IUD, one should promptly go to the hospital for examination and treatment. If symptoms do not significantly improve after treatment, the IUD should be removed, and other contraceptive methods should be considered. If amenorrhea is discovered after inserting an IUD, one should also promptly visit a gynecological hospital to clarify whether pregnancy already existed before the insertion of the IUD.
Some women who have had an IUD inserted often experience menorrhagia, prolonged menstrual cycles, and dysmenorrhea. The appearance of these phenomena has multiple causes and is not necessarily due to the IUD itself. Menorrhagia after inserting an IUD requires careful diagnosis and treatment. Some people believe that having more menstruation is no big deal, and there is no need for great concern or treatment; this view is incorrect.
