Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello: The reason for choosing to insert an IUD 3-7 days after the menstrual period is due to three benefits: First, the cervix is more 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 inconveniences caused by minor bleeding in women after IUD insertion.When inserting an IUD, it is important to focus on nutrition and rest. After insertion, dietary adjustments should be made to increase nutrition, especially consuming foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs, and soy products. Additionally, more vegetables and fresh fruits should be included in the diet. Generally, with proper dietary management, it can effectively prevent physical exhaustion caused by post-IUD side effects.
