Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. When is the best time to get an IUD inserted?Doctor's answer:
Inserting an intrauterine device (IUD) requires choosing the right time to avoid unnecessary complications. The best time is 3-7 days after the end of menstruation, especially when there has been no sexual activity. This is because the endometrium is just beginning to grow at this stage, making it relatively thin. Inserting the IUD can prevent bleeding during placement. Additionally, not having sexual activity after menstruation helps avoid the possibility that the IUD is placed when a fertilized egg has already attached to the endometrium.
