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 delivery, 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, avoid taking baths, and avoid heavy physical labor.Hello, generally, you can take an early pregnancy test after a 35-day menstrual period or have a blood HCG test 10 days after sexual intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and maintain good 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.
