Patient's question:
Patient Age: 21Detailed Medical Condition and Purpose of Consultation: Currently having sexual activity but does not want children at this time, but plans to have children in the future. Can an intrauterine device (IUD) be used for contraception now? What preparations are needed?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, for women who have not yet given birth, it is not the best choice. Because the intrauterine device (IUD) needs to be inserted into the uterine cavity through surgery. Although this surgical procedure is simple, if the disinfection is not strict or the operating procedures are not strictly followed, it may cause reproductive tract infections, or even reproductive tract injuries and other complications, thereby affecting future fertility. It is recommended to choose other safer, more effective, and convenient methods. If you are not suitable for condoms, you can consider using topical contraceptive suppositories.
