What methods of contraception are used after childbirth?

After giving birth, many women do not restrain themselves from having sex, and do not know how to use contraceptive methods during this period, or choose the wrong contraceptive methods. As a result, they become pregnant again a few months after giving birth, and eventually choose to have an abortion. However, this can cause serious harm to women and may even be life-threatening, so women should also pay attention to using contraceptive methods after giving birth.

Using condoms and oral contraceptives is relatively safe, but there may be a problem after the intrauterine device is placed. Most of the current intrauterine devices use devices with tail threads, which disrupt the isolation effect of the cervical immune plug. The immune plug serves to isolate the bacterial and sterile environments of the vagina.

If you have an IUD placed, it is like building a bridge between the sterile and non-sterile environments. There may be bleeding within a short period of time after insertion, or even after the IUD is inserted. During bleeding, the cervix is ​​open, which increases the chance of infection.

Because cesarean section causes great damage to the uterine muscle wall, it is impossible to insert an IUD after the menstruation returns to normal after delivery, as is done for natural childbirth. Therefore, the contraceptive method after cesarean section should be different for each person and provided with classified guidance.

Postpartum contraception for women is different from other periods. During this period, you must consider your own physical condition, especially for some people with weak bodies. If you want to change to other contraceptive methods after childbirth, you must also pay attention to the adaptation cycle time. For example, when using condoms and placing contraceptive devices, you must pay attention to adapting for two to three months to reduce the occurrence of menstrual disorders as much as possible.
