After giving birth, do you have to get an IUD?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in the past, many organizations required women to undergo contraception or sterilization procedures after giving birth. Most often, they would choose to have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted, which would not cause any pain or discomfort (similar to a routine gynecological examination). Generally, there would be no adverse reactions. If the interval between giving birth to the second child was not too long, there would be no need for an IUD. Instead, women could take their own contraceptive measures until they decided to have their second child.
