How long after getting the ring can I have sex?

For married women, contraception is a very important part. There are still many contraceptive methods at present. Drugs, condoms, etc. are common contraceptive methods. In life, many people will choose to wear an IUD for convenience. But we must remind everyone that you cannot have sex just after wearing the IUD. So how long after wearing the IUD can you have sex? Many people don’t understand this. Let’s take a look at the relevant introduction in this article.

Many women now use contraceptive rings, but they must pay attention to taking care of their bodies after having the ring inserted. They cannot have sex during this period, otherwise it is easy to cause infection and endanger their health. The IUD is a simple, safe, effective contraceptive measure that does not affect sexual life and is the choice of many women. However, some women are eager to have sex after having an IUD inserted, which is absolutely not allowed. After having the IUD inserted, you must wait for a week to half a month, because there will be a break-in period between the IUD and you. If you have sex too early, the IUD may become bent or fall off, and may also cause gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and cervicitis.

Things to note after getting the ring

1. Do not engage in underwater work or jumping exercises, such as water sports, track and field sports, etc. within five weeks after having the ring inserted.

2. Avoid sexual intercourse during the period: Women on birth control are prohibited from having sex one week before and two weeks after the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive device.

3. After inserting the IUD, if the bleeding is heavy, lasts for a long time, and the lower abdominal pain and back pain worsen, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to decide whether to remove the IUD or replace it.

4. Regular check-ups after IUD insertion: Women with IUDs should go to the hospital for check-ups in the first, third, and sixth months after IUD insertion, and at least once a year thereafter.

5. Avoid bathing in a tub within 4 weeks to prevent vaginal infection. However, showers and sponge baths are available.

6. Pay attention to whether menstruation is on time: If menstruation does not come for 1-2 months, you should be alert to whether you are pregnant. You should go to the hospital for an IUD check as soon as possible and go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a pregnancy test and other examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

After reading the introduction in this article, you should know how long it will take before you can have sex after having an IUD.
