Patient's question:
My husband has always used condoms during sex, but over time, we both found it uncomfortable. He said he was losing sensation and that the restriction made it easier for him to get soft prematurely. On my part, I've gradually noticed some pain during intercourse and mild vaginal infections. We both want to use a method of contraception without using condoms.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the situation you described, if you do not want to use condoms for contraception, you can have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted at the hospital, which is a very effective form of contraception and has no significant impact on you.Suggestions:
It is recommended to have the IUD inserted 3-7 days after your menstrual period ends, during which time you should avoid sexual activity. After the insertion, you need to rest for two weeks, and avoid sexual activity during this period to prevent infection.
