Female intrauterine device (IUD) placement is the process of placing an intrauterine device (IUD) in a woman's uterus, which affects the combination of sperm and eggs through copper ion radiation to achieve contraception. The contraceptive rate of IUD placement can reach 99%, making it highly favored by many women. However, it is important to choose a suitable period for IUD placement to achieve the most effective effect.
When is the best time for women to have an IUD?
1. After induced abortion
After artificial abortion or uterine curettage surgery, an intrauterine device can be placed. At this time, the female uterine opening is loose, which can reduce the risk of secondary surgery. However, the contents of the female uterine cavity are completely removed, with less bleeding. After the uterine contraction is complete, the device can be placed
2. After induced abortion in mid-term pregnancy
After induced abortion in the second trimester of pregnancy, an intrauterine device (IUD) is used, such as for patients undergoing abdominal puncture and amniocentesis for induced abortion. The device is placed during uterine cleaning surgery after birth. Placing an intrauterine device (IUD) after induced abortion in mid-term pregnancy generally results in a high rate of detachment and increased miscarriage rate. Patients with residual tissue in the uterine cavity, infection, or induced abortion using other drugs are not allowed to place IUDs.
3. 42 days postpartum and lactating amenorrhea patients
After delivery, the uterine contractions recover well, and lochia is clean for more than 5 days. There is no infection in the uterine cavity or perineum. Contraceptives can be placed in the hospital to reduce pregnancy symptoms during lactation. However, the uterine muscle layer is fragile, and attention should be paid not to puncture during placement.
4. Placenta placement after delivery during childbirth or cesarean section
At this time, placing an intrauterine device avoids secondary surgery, but the rate of detachment is relatively high. If the water breaks for more than 12 hours and the placenta is removed by hand, it may cause infection. Therefore, an intrauterine device cannot be placed at this time; If there is suspected residual placenta or bleeding, an intrauterine device cannot be placed; Women who have undergone a cesarean section are prone to IUD insertion due to the location of the uterine incision in the body of the uterus. If it cannot be placed, it is necessary to choose a reputable hospital even if it is necessary.
5. After sexual intercourse
If you are not using contraception during sexual activity or are worried about pregnancy due to an accident during contraception, and are prepared to take long-term contraceptive measures, you can place an intrauterine device within 72 hours.
6. Menstrual cycle
It is generally appropriate to place a contraceptive device within 3-7 days after a clean menstrual period. At this point, the probability of pregnancy is very low, and the endometrium is in a proliferative phase, with thin endometrium. The chances of injury and bleeding after placing contraceptives are also reduced.
