Patient's question:
I have been six months postpartum, and a few days ago, I had an IUD inserted at the hospital. The doctor said that I should not have sexual intercourse after the insertion. However, I would like to ask how soon after wearing the IUD can I have sexual intercourse?What kind of help I need: What is the minimum number of days I can have sexual intercourse after wearing the IUD?
Doctor's answer:
Using an intrauterine device (IUD) is a good way to breastfeed, but after a woman has an IUD inserted, it can also lead to many local inflammatory conditions, which require taking a lot of anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. It is recommended to wait for 15 days after inserting the IUD before engaging in sexual intercourse, as sexual activity in the short term may cause the IUD to fall out, which could then lead to many gynecological diseases. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
