Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it okay to use a ring after giving birth without having a period?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The reason for choosing to insert an IUD 3-7 days after the menstrual period is due to three benefits: First, the cervix is relaxed, making it easier to insert. Second, since the period has just started, pregnancy can be ruled out, preventing the IUD from being placed in an already pregnant uterus. Third, it avoids concerns and inconvenience caused by minor bleeding in women after IUD insertion.When getting an IUD, it is important to focus on nutrition and rest. After insertion, dietary adjustments should be made to increase nutrition, especially consuming iron-rich foods such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs, and tofu. Additionally, more vegetables and fresh fruits should be included in the diet. Generally, these dietary adjustments can effectively prevent physical exhaustion caused by post-IUD side effects.
