Why can’t you have sex before having an IUD inserted?

Ladies, if you want to have an IUD, you must learn to choose the best time to have it done. First of all, the best time to have an IUD is after a woman has given birth. If you want to go to the hospital to have an IUD done at other times, it is best to choose 3 to 7 days after your period. The endometrium is still relatively thin at this time, and even if the operation causes minor damage, it can be repaired quickly. In addition, you must not have sex before having an IUD, for the following reasons.

Why can’t you have sex before having an IUD inserted?

Women who use intrauterine devices for contraception should avoid having sex about a week before the device is inserted, as it can lead to pregnancy and intrauterine infection.

It is best not to have sex within 3 days before the IUD is inserted. If you have sex a few days before the IUD is inserted, it is recommended that the woman wait a few days before getting the IUD inserted. The specific situation will be analyzed below. Opinions and suggestions: Is it possible to have sex before the IUD is inserted? Women usually insert the IUD 3-7 days after the menstrual period is over. They cannot have sex 3 days before the IUD is inserted, and they cannot have sex, take a bath, or do heavy physical labor half a month after the IUD is inserted. Women with IUDs should go to the hospital for a checkup in the first, third, and sixth months after the IUD is inserted, and at least once a year thereafter. In addition to not having sex in the first three days after the IUD is inserted, the following points should also be noted: 1. It is strictly forbidden to participate in heavy physical labor within a week. 2. Underwater work and jumping sports, such as track and field sports, water sports, and fast-paced dances, are prohibited within five weeks. 3. It is important to take a full rest within 3 days after the IUD is inserted, and it is best to rest in bed. Avoid taking a bath within 4 weeks to avoid vaginal infection. However, you can take a shower or a sponge bath. 4. Pay close attention to whether the IUD falls off during menstruation or defecation within half a year. It is best to go to the hospital for X-ray observation of the IUD once a year. Pay attention to the regularity of menstruation and consult a gynecologist if necessary. 5. Pay attention to nutrition and eat more iron-containing foods to prevent anemia caused by excessive menstrual blood.

Having sex too early after having an IUD inserted can easily cause inflammation, so it is generally recommended to abstain from sex for a short period of time.

IUD is the most commonly used long-term contraceptive measure for women of childbearing age in China. It is a contraceptive ring placed in the uterine cavity of women of childbearing age to achieve the purpose of abortion and contraception through mechanical stimulation and interference of chemical substances. Often a ring can be left in the body for more than ten years. IUD insertion itself is a minor operation, placing a foreign object in the uterine cavity, and it takes some time for the body to adapt.

After the IUD is inserted, women may feel mild back pain and soreness, as well as vaginal bleeding, increased leucorrhea and other symptoms. You cannot have sexual intercourse immediately at this time to avoid causing damage to the reproductive system and affecting women's health. Once your body gets used to the IUD, these symptoms will gradually ease, and you can then 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.
