According to your description, after 2 months of medication treatment for cervical erosion postpartum follow-up, you want to insert an intrauterine device (IUD). For cesarean section, it is recommended to wait for 6 months post-surgery, and for vaginal delivery, it can be placed 3 months postpartum. It is advised that if you had a vaginal delivery, you can place the IUD 3 months postpartum, and if you had a cesarean section, wait for 6 months post-surgery. If your menstruation returns to normal with a clean flow of 3 days or less than 7 days, you can stop using the room and proceed with the insertion of the IUD. After insertion, refrain from sexual intercourse for 2 weeks to prevent infection. Additionally, during the treatment for cervical erosion, besides immediate medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important.
