What should I do if I had intercourse one week after IUD removal?

Having sex one week after IUD removal, the endometrium is not fully repaired at this time, so sex can lead to the invasion of pathogenic bacteria, and cause inflammation of the endometrium. It is recommended to take oral broad-spectrum antibiotics for 2 days, mainly to prevent infection. In addition, one week after IUD removal, just when ovulation is resumed, intercourse at this time may cause pregnancy. If you are not planning to get pregnant yet, you can take oral emergency contraceptive pills to give birth control. This is because the pill prevents ovulation and changes the thickness of the uterine lining, preventing the fertilized egg from being laid. However, most people will experience withdrawal bleeding after stopping the pill, so there is no need to be nervous, and the bleeding will usually stop in 3-5 days.
