When can I install an intrauterine device after the birth of a baby?
As you know, this contraceptive is implanted directly into the uterine cavity in such a way that it creates an obstacle to the fetal egg, which can not penetrate into the uterus. That is why, often with this method of preventing pregnancy, there is a violation, such as an ectopic pregnancy. This fact is one of the strong arguments against using an intrauterine device. However, despite this, he is quite popular with women.
In order to determine when it is possible to put an intrauterine device after delivery, a woman should consult a doctor. Conclusion on the possibility of using this method of contraception doctors can only give after examining and assessing the condition of the female reproductive system.
As a rule, a spiral after childbirth can be put, when from the moment of occurrence of the kid has passed already 6-7 weeks. However, immediately it is necessary to say that this period is average. In some cases, the installation of the spiral is possible only after six months, for example, after cesarean. Sometimes an intrauterine device can be installed immediately after birth. However, this practice is rare.
Can everyone use the IUD after giving birth?
It is worth noting that this method of contraception is not suitable for all women. So, there are also contra-indications for the use of a spiral. Among those doctors call:
- presence of tumoral formations in the reproductive system;
- inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs;
- pathology of the genital organs of the uterus and its cervix;
-
venereal diseases; - breast cancer;
- deep vein thrombosis.
Given the above features, doctors before installing a spiral, should not only examine the woman in the gynecological chair, but also take into account the presence of chronic diseases.
Thus, when it is better to put an intrauterine device after birth, and whether it is possible to do this at all, the doctor should decide only. In addition, only an expert can determine which type of IUD is appropriate for a woman in each particular case.
