How long after childbirth can an IUD be inserted?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It's best to wait until half a year later to get the IUD inserted. For normal delivery, it can be inserted 3 months postpartum, and for caesarean section, it's usually 3-6 months later. However, it's essential to rule out pregnancy. Usually, the IUD can be inserted 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. Avoid sexual intercourse 3 days before the insertion.
