Patient's question:
The doctor, because my husband and I no longer want children, then we thought that I should get an IUD. So a few days ago, I had the surgery. Then after the surgery, I was afraid it wouldn't be good, so I didn't dare to have sex with my husband. Hello, how many days after placing a copper IUD can I have sex?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, considering this situation, it is recommended to wait three to four weeks before engaging in sexual activity, as there is a possibility of reinfection during the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD). Additionally, a follow-up examination is necessary to check the position of the IUD in the uterine cavity. Some patients may experience an IUD being in the wrong position, leading to unintended pregnancy. It is advised to avoid sexual activity during the ovulation period in the future as much as possible.
