Patient's question:
After giving birth to my first child, I didn't plan on having any more children. I have been taking birth control pills, but they have caused irregular periods—sometimes they come early and sometimes they are delayed. I have also noticed that I am aging quickly. I wanted to get an IUD, but I have cervical erosion.Hello, can I get an IUD despite having cervical erosion?
Doctor's answer:
Before inserting an IUD, a careful examination of leukorrhea is required. If the leukorrhea test results are normal, the IUD can be inserted. In cases of cervical erosion, if the leukorrhea test results are normal, the IUD can also be inserted, as the impact is generally not significant. If the leukorrhea test shows signs of inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment for three days is necessary. Once the test results return to normal, the IUD can be inserted. After inserting the IUD, it is important to follow routine anti-inflammatory and recuperative measures, and to get plenty of rest. Specifically, if the cervical erosion condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of cervical erosion. Additionally, it is necessary to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
