Is it okay to get an IUD immediately after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I got pregnant twice by accident. Last time, I cried uncontrollably after the surgery. This time, I got pregnant again by accident, and I regret not taking proper contraceptive measures. I want to get an IUD after this abortion and never have to worry about getting pregnant again by accident. Is it okay to get an IUD immediately after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After an induced abortion, it is not directly feasible to undergo another one. This is because the endometrium has not fully recovered at this time, which can affect the endometrium. The previous abortion occurred due to inadequate contraceptive measures, leading to another pregnancy. In such cases, it is recommended not to engage in sexual relations again. In unavoidable situations, oral contraceptives can be taken. Repeated induced abortions can cause significant harm to women.
