Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello: The reason for choosing to insert an IUD 3-7 days after the menstrual period is that there are three benefits during this time: First, the cervix is relaxed, making it easier to insert. Second, since the period has just started, pregnancy can be ruled out, preventing the IUD from being placed in an already pregnant uterus. Third, it avoids concerns and inconvenience caused by minor bleeding in women after IUD insertion.When getting an IUD, it is important to replenish nutrients and rest. After insertion, dietary adjustments should be made to increase nutrition appropriately, especially consuming foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs, and tofu. You can also eat more vegetables and fresh fruits. Generally, with proper dietary management, it can effectively prevent physical exhaustion caused by post-IUD side effects.
