How long after an abortion can I get an IUD?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion last month and recently don't want to have children anymore. I want to get an IUD inserted. Hello doctor, how long after an abortion can I get an IUD inserted?

Doctor's answer:

This suggestion allows for the use of an intrauterine device and breastfeeding starting from the month after the abortion, so it is important to pay attention to safety. However, it is possible to have minimal skin irritation within the first week after the abortion. During this time, spicy foods should still be avoided. Additionally, it is recommended to enhance nutrition and take good care of oneself, as poor care may affect future pregnancies. Therefore, it is important to prioritize safety and take some antibiotics orally for recovery.
