Is it good to insert the IUD immediately after the flow?

Patient's question:

I have two children with my husband, so we don't expect to have any more. Previously, I accidentally got pregnant and decided to have an abortion. Is it okay to insert an IUD immediately after the abortion? Because I really don't want to get pregnant again and have to go through another abortion. I feel that it causes significant damage to the body. However, I'm also worried that inserting an IUD will cause harm to the body.

Doctor's answer:

After the flow of people, it is possible to immediately insert an IUD. It doesn't cause much harm to the body. It is recommended that you use antibiotic drugs under the guidance of a doctor to perform anti-inflammatory treatment. During this period, pay close attention to hygiene. Use warm water to wash the vulva before and after sexual intercourse. Do not have sexual intercourse within half a month. Avoid strenuous activities to prevent IUD meniscus injury or loosening. After the abortion, pay attention to rest. Do not have sexual intercourse for a month to avoid infection.
