How long does it take for a woman to have sex after having an IUD inserted? Does it hurt?

Now many women are responding to the national call and trying the birth control measure of IUD insertion. So, do you know some knowledge about IUD insertion?

Does it hurt for women to have an IUD inserted?

Does it hurt when women have an IUD inserted? Many women generally use IUDs as a contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy or respond to the country's family planning policy! Many women who don't know about this worry about the pain when they have an IUD inserted! Here is an analysis by experts from Xinzhou Gynecology Hospital!

The IUD itself is a minor surgery, placing a foreign body in the uterine cavity, and it takes a while for the body to adapt. The uterus's response to the foreign body is to try to expel it by increasing contraction. Most people cannot feel the uterine contraction and can adapt to it, but some people feel back pain, backache, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding. There are also some other conditions:

1. Mild back pain and soreness is caused by the discomfort caused by the placement of the ring and the contraction of the uterus. It will disappear naturally after a period of time. During this period, be careful not to do heavy work.

2. A small amount of vaginal bleeding, or a shortened menstrual cycle, a heavy menstrual flow, or a prolonged menstrual period is due to the compression of the endometrium by the ring, which causes inflammatory infiltration of cells. As time goes by, the uterus will adapt and the symptoms will disappear.

3. As the amount of vaginal discharge increases, the uterus is stimulated and the cervical secretions increase. Generally, this symptom will gradually decrease three months after the ring is placed.

Do you understand the simple answer given by the expert from Xinzhou Gynecological Hospital to the question "Will it hurt when a woman has an IUD inserted?" Generally, there is no pain.

How long after the IUD can I have sex?

After the IUD placement surgery, sexual intercourse is prohibited for one week to half a month, because there will be a "running-in period" between the IUD and the female body. Starting sexual intercourse too early will cause the IUD to deviate or fall off, and it may also easily cause women to suffer from gynecological inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc.

After the IUD surgery, some women will experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding. In order to prevent postoperative infection and protect your health, it is best not to have sex at this time.

Women can have sexual intercourse half a month after the IUD is inserted, but it should be noted that post-insertion care should be taken seriously to avoid the IUD falling off and causing an unexpected pregnancy.

Women should refer to their own specific circumstances and combine them with the doctor's advice so that they can have a good first sexual experience after the IUD is inserted.

Things to note after having an IUD inserted

Women need to understand and pay attention to the question of how long it will take for them to have sex after having an IUD inserted. After having an IUD inserted, they should pay attention to the following:

1. It is strictly forbidden to participate in heavy physical labor within one week after the IUD is inserted.

2. Avoid sexual intercourse within three weeks.

3. Avoid underwater work and jumping exercises, such as track and field sports, water sports, and fast-paced dancing within five weeks.

4. Please note that you should take full rest within 3 days after the IUD is inserted, and it is best to rest in bed.

5. Avoid bathing in a tub within 4 weeks to avoid vaginal infection. However, you can take a shower or sponge bath.

6. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva to prevent infection.

7. Pay close attention to whether the ring falls off during menstruation or bowel movements within six months. It is best to go to the hospital for an X-ray observation of the ring once a year.

8. Pay attention to menstrual regularity and seek treatment from a gynecologist if necessary.

9. Pay attention to nutrition and eat more iron-containing foods to prevent anemia caused by excessive menstrual blood.

If there is no improvement, the IUD should be removed and other contraceptive methods should be used instead.
