Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I get an IUD inserted after taking medication for an abortion without any bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Hello, getting an IUD inserted immediately after a D&C procedure can easily lead to intrauterine infection. Therefore, it is not advisable to insert an IUD. You should wait until 3-5 days after the first menstrual period has ended after the D&C before inserting an IUD. To prevent infection, sexual activity should be strictly avoided 3 days before insertion and for 2 weeks after the procedure. Pay attention to vaginal hygiene. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion procedure will have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to post-procedure care and health maintenance. Patients undergoing an abortion should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure.
