Patient's question:
My cousin already has a child who is already in primary school. Recently, she accidentally got pregnant with her second child. My cousin doesn't want it, so she underwent medication abortion. Then she wants to get an IUD inserted after the miscarriage, but she doesn't know how long it will take. Now she wants to ask how long after medication abortion can she get an IUD?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is better to wait until after your next menstrual period, and then do not have sexual intercourse for 3 to 7 days after the period is clean. Go to the hospital to place the intrauterine device. After the medication abortion, your period usually comes between 30 and 50 days. If it doesn't come within this time frame, you should also go to the hospital for a thorough check-up to determine the reason for the delayed period and undergo treatment to regulate your menstrual cycle. After the surgery, pay attention to rest, digestion, and nutrition. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Do not have sexual intercourse again until one month later. Once you resume sexual intercourse, you must use contraception to avoid an accidental pregnancy.
