Patient's question:
What should be noted when using Mirena IUD?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, it is advisable to place an intrauterine device (IUD) 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends, without any sexual activity. This is because the endometrium is in the early stages of growth at this time, making it thinner, which helps prevent bleeding during insertion. Additionally, since there has been no sexual activity after the period, the possibility of the IUD being placed on an already implanted fertilized egg is avoided.One week before the insertion, it is best to avoid sexual activity. After the insertion, it is important to avoid tub baths, maintain hygiene, get adequate rest, and drink plenty of water. I hope my answer helps you. Wishing you a happy life.
