Can I get an IUD inserted during an abortion?

Patient's question:

Tomorrow I will have an abortion. I already have two children and don't want any more. Can I get an IUD during the abortion procedure? I want to be safer in the future.

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion procedure, it is possible to have an intrauterine device (IUD). In most cases, it is necessary to take precautions to prevent local infection. After a miscarriage, it is important to be aware of incomplete miscarriage or persistent vaginal bleeding. Having an IUD does not have any significant impact. Timely symptomatic treatment is required, and under the guidance of a doctor, oral preparations of Leonurus japonicus or antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes can be taken. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
