What is the process of getting an IUD inserted?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is the process of getting an IUD inserted?

Doctor's answer:

Inserting an IUD is a very simple manual procedure. Generally, it is recommended to visit the local family planning department three days after the end of menstruation. With a skilled IUD insertion professional, the procedure usually takes only a few minutes to complete. However, sexual activity should be avoided for one week before and one month after insertion. It is important to maintain good daily hygiene. If any discomfort occurs and does not improve, a follow-up check is necessary.
