Patient's question:
Medical history: When I gave birth, because I went for a check-up after the due date, it was discovered that my head hadn't engaged in the pelvis, and during a cesarean section, it was accidentally found that I have a double uterus. I heard that this condition makes it difficult to get pregnant and that if you have an IUD, you need to have two.Current treatment and effectiveness: Although I haven't finished my postpartum period yet, I don't plan to have another child and am very afraid of an accidental pregnancy. What help do I need: I want to know how to be the most effective and safest contraception. Is it okay to use an IUD in this condition? Or just taking birth control pills? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, it is best to have two IUDs in a bicornuate uterus, but wearing two IUDs is relatively complex and can only be handled by a gynecologist with excellent technical skills. If you cannot wear IUDs, you will still need other methods of contraception, such as condoms or short-term birth control pills.Advice: Based on your description, if you can have two IUDs implanted at your local hospital, this would be the best option. It is the most effective method of contraception with the least side effects. If you cannot wear IUDs, it is recommended that you follow the guidance of your local doctor to use other contraception methods.
