How to wear an intrauterine device

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How should an intrauterine device be worn?

Doctor's answer:

Long-term practice has proven that inserting an intrauterine device (IUD) is a safe, effective, and convenient method of contraception. After insertion, rest for 2 days, and avoid heavy physical labor within 2 weeks to prevent increased abdominal pressure, which may cause the IUD to shift or fall out. Irritation from the IUD may lead to mild lower abdominal pain, which generally does not require pain medication. If the pain is severe, seek medical attention promptly.
Generally, doctors recommend that women with postpartum consultation risks follow a balanced diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
