Patient's question:
Recently, I just had an abortion, and the little one is already over a year old. I mainly want to wait until he is around three years old before considering having another child, so I wanted to go to the hospital to get an IUD and breastfeed. But my good friend advised me not to get an IUD, saying that she experienced various gynecological problems after getting one.Doctor's answer:
Its working principle is to rub the uterine wall, triggering aseptic inflammation of the uterine wall, in order to prevent the implantation and development of the fertilized egg. Since the intrauterine device (IUD) breastfeeding involves placing a foreign object inside the uterus, the body needs a certain amount of time to gradually recover. During this period, some women may experience mild lower back pain, minimal vaginal bleeding, and increased leukorrhea. Therefore, after the procedure, it is necessary to rest for 3 days, avoid heavy physical labor within 1 week, and strictly prohibit bathing in hot tubs or sexual activity within 2 weeks. Subsequently, periodic follow-up visits to the hospital are required.Generally, if the above precautions are followed, it will not lead to gynecological diseases for patients who are not prone to such conditions. In addition to active treatment, patients should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep, as sufficient deep sleep can help you recover more quickly from the illness.
