Patient's question:
I have a baby, and I'm not planning to have a second child for now. I want to get an IUD. Is it safe? How much does an IUD cost approximately?Doctor's answer:
The insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) is the best form of contraception. It can be used in conjunction with family planning, allowing for complete and immediate fertility restoration at any time. It is also simple, safe, effective, and economical. Generally, the cost of inserting an IUD typically ranges from 100 to 500 yuan, varying by region and the postoperative medication involved. The exact price cannot be estimated. Therefore, the cost of inserting an IUD must be confirmed only after the patient undergoes thorough pre-insertion examinations at the hospital. The best time to insert an IUD is within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends, and sexual intercourse should be avoided. This is because sexual activity after insertion can easily lead to inflammation or the risk of pregnancy with the device in place.
