Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, it is generally possible to insert an IUD 3-6 months later, but it is essential to rule out pregnancy. Usually, the IUD is inserted 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. Three days before the insertion, sexual intercourse is prohibited. For 15 days after insertion, sexual intercourse,, and heavy physical labor are not allowed. Women with an IUD should have follow-up check-ups at the hospital in the first, third, and sixth months after insertion, and at least once a year thereafter.
