What Are the Considerations and Risks of Getting an IUD After a Cesarean Delivery?
After a caesarean section and ring placement, it is important to pay attention to whether there is abdominal pain or excessive bleeding from the private area. It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse within two weeks after ring placement. During the first menstrual cycle after ring placement, observe the amount of blood. If there is any discomfort, seek medical attention promptly for a follow-up examination. Improper ring placement can lead to hazards such as abnormal bleeding, abdominal pain, lower back pain, and failed contraception.
1. After ring placement, be vigilant. If you experience abdominal pain or excessive vaginal bleeding after returning home, immediately return to the hospital for a check-up.
2. It is forbidden to have sexual intercourse within 2 weeks after ring placement. This is because sexual intercourse during this period may increase the risk of infection.
3. During the first menstrual cycle after ring placement, carefully observe the amount of menstrual blood. If there is excessive bleeding, carefully check whether the ring has fallen out.
4. After menstruation ends, return to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. The purpose of this examination is to check if the ring is still in place and if its position is correct. If everything is normal, a color Doppler ultrasound examination should be performed regularly every year to check the position of the ring.
1. Ring placement is an intrauterine procedure that can easily lead to uterine perforation, infection, and problems with the placement of the contraceptive ring. After the contraceptive ring fails or after menopause, it needs to be removed through intrauterine procedures.
2. After ring placement, patients may experience discomfort with the contraceptive ring, such as abnormal bleeding, lower back pain, and abdominal pain.
3. If the contraceptive ring moves downward or falls out, there is a risk of failed contraception.
