Patient's question:
1. I put in the IUD on the 28th, and there was no bleeding on the 31st. Can I have sex in this situation? /2. After putting in the IUD, do I need to wear a condom during the first time I have sex? Because I’ve heard many people get pregnant while using an IUD. I’m so scared?
3. Will I get pregnant or infected if I have sex? First follow-up question: I’m worried about the IUD I put in on the 28th. I had sex five days later. In this situation, will I get infected? Did I wear a condom? The doctor originally told me to wait for half a month.
Doctor's answer:
The best time to remove the IUD is also within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends (but it is essential to rule out pregnancy). This can reduce bleeding.After removing the IUD, rest for 1 day. Avoid sexual activity and soaking in a bathtub for 2 weeks to prevent infection.
After the IUD is removed, there may be a small amount of bleeding or bloody discharge from the vagina, which will naturally disappear within a day or two. This is due to the stimulation of the endometrium and cervix by the IUD removal and is a normal phenomenon. If there is excessive bleeding or prolonged bleeding, seek medical treatment promptly.
After the IUD is removed, the endometrium needs a recovery period. It is recommended to wait for 2 to 3 menstrual cycles before trying to conceive.
