Can I have sex 7 days after getting an IUD?

Refrain from sexual intercourse for 7 days after IUD insertion. Generally, it is recommended to wait 3–4 weeks before resuming sexual activity. Avoiding intercourse in the short term is important, as otherwise the risk of infection increases and recovery may be affected. After IUD placement, sexual activity should be avoided temporarily, and proper anti-inflammatory care should be taken. Having sex too soon may also cause displacement of the IUD, which could affect contraceptive effectiveness. Therefore, sexual intercourse should only resume once full recovery has been achieved after IUD insertion.
