How to deal with vaginal widening during pregnancy

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Please ask how to deal with vaginal widening during pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during pregnancy, due to the secretion of hormones in the body, the vagina does indeed have a certain degree of relaxation, and it generally recovers gradually after pregnancy. It is important to avoid sexual activity.
Hello: The reason for choosing to insert an IUD 3-7 days after menstruation is that this period has three benefits: First, the cervix is relaxed, making it easier to insert. Second, since menstruation 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 inserting an IUD, it is important to replenish nutrients and rest. After insertion, dietary adjustments should be noted, with appropriate increases in nutrition, especially consuming foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs, and other foods. You can also eat more soy products, vegetables, and fresh fruits. Generally, with the above dietary adjustments, it can effectively prevent physical exhaustion caused by post-IUD side effects.
