Can You Have Sex with a Contraceptive Ring Right After Insertion?

      According to medical methods, women’s eggs are no longer closely connected to male sperm, making contraception effectively possible. However, in recent years, this method has been attacked by others, and even some authoritative experts do not recommend women to use contraceptive rings, as they can be harmful to the body. Therefore, after inserting a contraceptive ring, attention must be paid to more factors. So, can you have sex with a new ring right after insertion?

      On the contraception day, you cannot engage in any strenuous activities, which is undeniable. Generally speaking, after a woman undergoes a ring insertion surgery, she should not engage in any strenuous activities for at least a week until the ring is successfully integrated into her body. Due to every woman’s unique physical quality, the ring size for each woman varies.

      In general, after inserting a contraceptive ring, you should avoid strenuous activities for at least ten days to a week. In other words, if, after observing your body for a period of time, you don’t experience any discomfort, you can resume your daily activities.

      In addition, women who use contraceptive rings should have regular check-ups after one month, three months, six months, and one year of use to monitor the ring’s condition.

      For women who have given birth, the vaginal muscles tend to be more relaxed. Hence, the discomfort caused by ring insertion is generally less than that for unmarried women. After giving birth, women may feel uterine contractions from the ring, but it is usually not significant.

      Naturally, every woman’s physical quality is unique, and the symptoms of the ring behind it can also differ and even cause discomfort. Some women may feel soreness after ring insertion, causing the uterus to contract if the ring is too big or in a low position, as the uterus is trying to remove a “foreign body”. This may cause pain in the lower abdomen.

      To prevent discomfort, women should choose their own contraceptive ring before the insertion surgery and visit a reliable clinic to avoid postoperative pain caused by a surgeon’s poor skills.
