Patient's question:
Regarding how long it takes to have sex after the procedure, there have been previous responses from doctors, but the answers vary, with some saying one week and others saying one month! Could you please explain the principle of the IUD for contraception? Looking forward to your reply! Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, the principle of the contraceptive ring is that the ring affects the implantation of the fertilized egg or blastocyst, preventing it from implanting. After inserting the ring, it is best to wait one month before having sexual intercourse. The ideal time to insert the ring is 3-7 days after the menstrual period is clean. It can be placed after a natural miscarriage, 3 months after a full-term delivery, or 6 months after a cesarean section. Women who experience postpartum amenorrhea must first rule out pregnancy before insertion. Generally, it is recommended to rest for 2 days after the procedure, avoid heavy physical labor within a week, and refrain from and sexual intercourse for 2 weeks. Within 3 months, pay attention to whether the IUD has fallen during the menstrual period or when defecating, and follow up regularly.
