Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does getting an IUD after a C-section hurt?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, it is generally recommended to wait for 3-6 months before inserting an intrauterine device (IUD), while after a vaginal birth, it can be done after 3 months. However, it is essential to rule out whether you are pregnant. Usually, the IUD is inserted 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. Three days before inserting the IUD, you should not have sexual intercourse. After inserting the IUD, you should avoid sexual intercourse for half a month, taking baths, and engaging in heavy physical labor.Hello, generally, you can take an early pregnancy test after a 35-day menstrual stop or do a blood HCG test 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and ensure proper nutrition, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be done on schedule.
