Patient's question:
Can an IUD provide 100% contraception? Is the IUD insertion procedure painful?Doctor's answer:
If it is an induced abortion, and the uterus contracts well, the intrauterine device (IUD) can be inserted at the time of the induced abortion. If it is a spontaneous abortion, the IUD can be inserted 3-7 days after the next menstrual period is clean. If the size of the IUD is not selected correctly, such as being too small, it may easily lead to dislocation or expulsion, which cannot achieve the purpose of contraception. It is recommended to rest for 3 days after inserting the IUD, and avoid heavy physical labor within 1 week to prevent the IUD from falling out, dislocating, or contraceptive failure.
