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 the process of getting an IUD (intrauterine device) insertion is like for women?Doctor's answer:
Three to seven days after the menstrual period ends, if there has been no sexual intercourse, an IUD can be inserted. A routine gynecological examination is required before the insertion. Rest for three days after the procedure, avoid heavy physical labor within one week, and refrain from sexual intercourse and for two weeks. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia. Follow-up visits are recommended at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure, and once a year thereafter.The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. It is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
