Patient's question:
Is it safe? How often do you need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up? Is the risk of ectopic pregnancy high?Doctor's answer:
Inserting an intrauterine device (IUD) is a relatively safe form of contraception. It is generally recommended to have a thorough check-up at the hospital once a year or every two years to monitor for any shedding or rapid movement. The risk of ectopic pregnancy with an IUD is not very high. It is advised that even with an IUD in place, additional contraceptive measures such as using condoms during intercourse can be taken to help prevent cross-infection and reduce the likelihood of gynecological diseases. The above information can serve as a reference.
