How long after taking out the IUD can I have sex?

Although the IUD is a long-term contraceptive method, everyone should also know that the IUD can be removed. If you have an IUD installed but want to get pregnant again, you can go to the hospital to have it removed. So, how long after the IUD is removed can you have sex? It is recommended that you do not have sex immediately, because you will not get pregnant immediately. It is best to have sex after one month.

After the IUD is removed, its effect of interfering with the combination of sperm and egg disappears, and the endometrium returns to normal. Studies have confirmed that 75% of women can become pregnant within 6 months after IUD removal; 90% of women can become pregnant within 1 year after IUD removal. Moreover, if pregnancy occurs after the IUD is removed, there will be no impact on the development of the fetus. However, in order to allow the endometrium to repair well, after removing the IUD, you should use other contraceptive methods for 1 to 3 months before getting pregnant.

The IUD is declared by the family planning department to be "quite popular among women" because it can achieve the purpose of contraception without affecting sexual life. It is easy to insert and remove, "safe and effective", and has "mild" adverse reactions. Currently, the compulsory insertion of this ring has become an important measure for women to take for postpartum contraception.

Generally speaking, IUD insertion will not cause gynecological diseases, but the prerequisite is to do relevant examinations before the operation. If there is inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis, it must be cured before the IUD is inserted.

Common side effects after IUD insertion: Since a foreign object is placed in the uterus, it takes some time for the body to gradually adapt. Therefore, some women may experience mild back pain, a small amount of vaginal bleeding, and increased leucorrhea during this period. Therefore, you need to rest for 3 days after the operation, avoid doing heavy physical work within 1 week, avoid sitting baths and sexual intercourse within 2 weeks, and then go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

Situations where the ring should not be placed

Women with acute pelvic inflammatory disease, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, excessive or irregular menstrual bleeding, uterine fibroids, and narrow cervical opening should not have the ring inserted, otherwise it will lead to worsening inflammation and increased menstrual flow.
