Is it easy to get vaginitis when wearing an IUD?

Patient's question:

I get vaginal infections easily while taking birth control pills. If I use an IUD, will I be more prone to vaginal infections?
Follow-up question: I went to the hospital, and the doctor told me to wait 5 years before using an IUD, as it can affect the body. I’m 35 and don’t want to take birth control pills anymore. I’m really unsure what to do.

Doctor's answer:

You can also consult your primary doctor for specific situations. Additionally, it is recommended that you maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and pay attention to personal and sexual hygiene, maintain proper cleanliness, etc. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can cause certain harm to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive patients should pay attention to self-care, such as a balanced diet and avoiding raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
