What examinations are required before getting an IUD (intrauterine device)?

A series of examinations are required before having an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted to ensure safety. These mainly include: 1. **Pregnancy test**: Using early pregnancy test strips, blood tests for HCG, or pelvic ultrasound to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. 2. **Gynecological examination**: Including B-ultrasound to assess the condition of the uterus, determine the uterine position and size, and identify any abnormalities to judge whether IUD insertion is appropriate. 3. **Other tests**: Such as routine blood tests, coagulation function tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), and liver and kidney function tests, to evaluate the woman's overall health and ensure the safety of the IUD insertion procedure. 4. **Infectious disease screening**: Some hospitals or doctors may require tests for infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, syphilis, and HIV/AIDS to prevent cross-infection. 5. **Special examinations for painless IUD insertion**: If planning to undergo painless IUD insertion, additional tests such as electrocardiogram (ECG) may be required.
