Patient's question:
I and my husband have already had a child and are not planning to have any more. After that, I went to the hospital to get an IUD. However, my period was delayed by several days this month. Is there a possibility of getting pregnant after getting an IUD?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, once you have had an IUD inserted, it is highly unlikely to get pregnant again. However, it is not entirely absolute. You can now focus and carefully observe. It is normal for your period to be delayed by a week. If it still hasn't arrived after ten days, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Rest and take care during this time. During treatment, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
