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 inconveniences caused by minor bleeding in women after IUD insertion.When inserting an IUD, it is important to replenish nutrients and get adequate rest. After insertion, dietary adjustments should be made, with appropriate increases in nutrition, especially consuming foods rich in iron such as lean meat, pork liver, pork kidneys, eggs, and tofu. It is also recommended to eat more vegetables and fresh fruits. Generally, with the above dietary adjustments, it can effectively prevent physical exhaustion caused by post-IUD side effects.
