When is the best time to insert the contraceptive ring?

Nowadays, many couples do not want to have more babies after giving birth to one. At this time, they need to consider using a long-term and effective contraceptive method. After all, traditional contraceptive methods are not only very troublesome, but sometimes they cannot really play a contraceptive role. The contraceptive ring is not only safe and effective, but also helps women save a lot of contraceptive troubles. It is the first choice for women's contraception. So when is the best time to insert an IUD?

1. Generally, it should be placed after menstruation is over. It is best to have the IUD inserted 3-7 days after the menstruation ends and when there is no sexual history, because at this time the endometrium is just beginning to grow and the endometrium is thin, so bleeding can be avoided during insertion. At the same time, not having sexual intercourse after menstruation also avoids the possibility that the fertilized egg has grown on the endometrium when the IUD is inserted. Generally, most women choose to have the IUD inserted at this time.

2. Place immediately after artificial abortion. It is inserted immediately after artificial abortion or forceps curettage. At this time, the cervix is ​​loose and a second operation can be avoided. Some studies have shown that compared with insertion during the menstrual cycle, there is no increase in infection and bleeding complications, and the pregnancy and expulsion rates are also very similar. However, it can only be inserted after ensuring that the contents of the uterine cavity are completely cleared, bleeding is not excessive, and the uterus is well contracted. If there is irregular vaginal bleeding before the operation. If there is heavy bleeding during the operation, poor uterine contraction, or suspected incomplete removal of uterine cavity contents, wait until the next menstruation to delay insertion.

3. Breastfeeding women should have the IUD inserted 3 months after delivery. At this time, the uterus has recovered and ovulation function has resumed, so conception is possible before the menstrual period, so the IUD should be placed no later than 3 months after delivery. If you have not had your period, check whether you are pregnant before inserting the IUD to avoid miscarriage bleeding caused by the IUD.

4. After a miscarriage, if you have had your period once, or three months after a full-term birth, or more than six months after a caesarean section, you can have an IUD inserted.

Now that you know the best time to insert an IUD, if you decide to get one, you will also need to be reminded of some precautions after the insertion. For example, it is best not to have sex or take a sitz bath within 2 weeks after the insertion. This is to avoid cervical infection, because the cervical opening is very fragile at this time. Once inflammation invades, it can easily lead to gynecological diseases in women.
