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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Please advise if I still need to use a condom after having an IUD for a month and having normal intercourse.Doctor's answer:
Using an IUD does not require the use of condoms. It will not cause pregnancy. After inserting an IUD, it is generally recommended to reduce sexual activity within the first month. It may cause infection issues. Hello, in this case, it is generally unlikely. Pregnancy is a very complex physiological process that requires normal sperm and mature eggs. Having sexual intercourse during ovulation increases the chances of pregnancy. Based on your description, it is recommended to use a pregnancy test. If two red lines appear, it means you are pregnant. If there is only one line, it means you are not pregnant.
