Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What is the meaning of having an IUD inserted?Doctor's answer:
Based on your inquiry, the general process for getting an IUD (intrauterine device) involves going to a hospital for a formal insertion. After the IUD is inserted, oral antibiotics should be taken to reduce the risk of infection. You can also eat more fresh fruits and nuts like peanuts, walnuts, and dried red dates. This can provide sufficient energy, as well as additional vitamins and iron, helping to prevent iron-deficiency anemia in both the pregnant woman and the fetus.
