Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what effects wearing an IUD can have on a woman's body?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The reason for choosing to insert an IUD 3-7 days after the menstrual period is due to three benefits: First, the cervix is more relaxed, making it easier to insert. Second, since the period has just started, pregnancy can be ruled out, preventing the IUD from being placed in an already pregnant uterus. Third, it avoids concerns and inconvenience caused by minor bleeding in women after IUD insertion.When inserting an IUD, it is important to replenish nutrients and rest. After insertion, dietary adjustments should be made, with appropriate increases in nutrition. It is especially recommended to consume foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs, and soy products. Additionally, increasing the intake of vegetables and fresh fruits is beneficial. Generally, with these dietary adjustments, the physical exhaustion caused by post-IUD side effects can be effectively prevented.
