Is the follow-up check after inserting an IUD an ultrasound?

Patient's question:

I have two babies with my husband, so I want to use contraception. Then I had an IUD inserted. I don't know if an ultrasound is done during the follow-up after the IUD insertion. Is an ultrasound done during the IUD follow-up?

Doctor's answer:

During the follow-up check after insertion of the intrauterine device (IUD), an ultrasound examination is performed for the check. It is recommended to have at least one ultrasound follow-up at least one month, three months, or six months after insertion to ensure the position of the IUD is normal, and to understand the position of the IUD, the condition of the uterus and appendages, and whether everything is normal. During daily life, it is important to pay attention to cleaning the vaginal area and changing and washing underwear frequently.
