Can women with secondary cervical erosion get an IUD?

Patient's question:

After giving birth for a year, I recently went for an IUD insertion. During a thorough examination, I was found to have second-degree cervical erosion. However, the doctor said it's not a big deal. It's been about ten days now, with one day being clean, and now it's just discharge. Does cervical erosion affect the body significantly after inserting an IUD? I'm a bit worried that the erosion might get worse after the insertion.

Doctor's answer:

It is best to place an intrauterine device (IUD) when there are no gynecological infections to avoid introducing intrauterine infections or other reproductive system inflammations. After inserting an IUD, it may cause fallopian tube blockage. After the insertion is complete, avoid sexual activity for one month to prevent bacterial infections. Patients facing cervical erosion should actively undergo examinations and treatments, without avoiding medical visits. If cervical erosion does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
