Patient's question:
I want to get an IUD. I have had a cesarean section for thirteen months, and it has been seven days since my last period. Can I get an IUD now? Do I need to take some anti-inflammatory medicine first?Doctor's answer:
After 13 months of a cesarean section, it is possible to use a contraceptive ring while breastfeeding. The ring should be inserted within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. Currently, it's a bit late to insert the ring after 7 days of the period ending, as this may increase the risk of irritation. It's best to wait until next month to insert the ring. No antibiotics are needed before inserting the ring, but they can be taken afterward. Cesarean section is a condition that is not easily relieved. Friends who have undergone this procedure should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in overcoming the cesarean section and believe that recovery is certain.
