Patient's question:
On November 27, 2017, I got an IUD. But I took a few days off to rest. Can I now ride a car and a bike? What do you think?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. After the IUD insertion, you should rest for 3 days. Avoid heavy physical labor within 1 week. Avoid sexual intercourse and tub baths within 2 weeks. Always maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia.After the first menstrual period after IUD insertion, return for a follow-up check 3 to 5 days after the period ends. Have a gynecological ultrasound to ensure the IUD is properly positioned. It's fine to travel, but try to avoid riding a bike for now. If you experience menstrual issues after IUD insertion, seek medical attention promptly.
