Can a woman with a cesarean section use an intrauterine device (IUD)?

Patient's question:

Can a woman have an IUD after a cesarean section? The baby isn't born yet, will the uterus be small? Will it hurt to wear an IUD?

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
It's suitable to have an IUD inserted 3-7 days after your period ends, especially if you have no history of sexual intercourse. This is because the endometrium is just beginning to grow at this time, making it thinner. Insertion can help prevent tearing during placement. Additionally, not having had sexual intercourse after your period helps prevent the possibility that an egg has already attached to the endometrium when the IUD is inserted. Generally, most women choose to have the IUD inserted at this time.
Facing the impact of a Cesarean section, we should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatment, and not avoid seeking medical attention. If a Cesarean section condition does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
