Hi, an IUD is a small device (usually T-shaped) that is inserted into a woman's uterus for a long-lasting contraceptive effect. This is one of the most effective birth control methods available today. There are two types of IUDs: copper-based IUDs and hormonal IUDs.
For normal cases: If you are in good health, you can put the ring on 3-7 days after your period has stopped and you have not had sex again. This is the time when the cervix is ​​quite soft and still open, so the procedure to insert the ring into the uterus will also be easier, and at the same time, less painful and less vaginal bleeding.
After IUD insertion, there may be bleeding in the first few cycles after insertion. Leaking a little blood, but within 2 - 5 days after placing, it will stop if there is a lot of bleeding, lasting 4-5 days, you must quickly return to the medical facility for examination and treatment.
