Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Had an abortion on October 20th and got an IUD inserted. Around December 6th, the IUD partially fell out, so it was removed. The doctor told me I couldn't have sex for 20 days! How long does it take for the uterus to heal approximately? If a couple is intimate, and the male's reproductive organ is placed at the female's vaginal opening but does not enter, can pregnancy occur due to male secretions?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Women who have had an intrauterine device (IUD) removed should wait for 2-3 normal menstrual cycles before getting pregnant.For women who have had an IUD placed, regardless of how long it has been in place, it will have some impact on the uterine lining and other tissues as a foreign object. After removal, the uterine lining must be given time to recover. From a perspective of optimizing reproductive health, it is generally recommended to wait for 2-3 normal menstrual cycles before attempting pregnancy.
