What is a good contraceptive method to take after treatment for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I was hospitalized last month for ectopic pregnancy and received conservative treatment. I have now mostly recovered and been discharged. When can I resume sexual activity? Can I have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted? Does an IUD prevent ectopic pregnancy? I am 34 years old and have an 8-year-old son. What is the safest method of contraception for me? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is best to use condoms.
