What Are The Precaution To Be Carried Before Insertion Of Copper T?
I had copper T inserted some months back. I guess it had fallen down and had to abort since i have a small kid. Now again i wanted to insert. I am already having lot of itching before my period s after abortion. Is it safe to insert copper T again......if yes should itr be done only within 10 days of periods?

Hallow Dear,
The important precautions before inserting Copper T (Cu-T):
1. You must be sure that you are not pregnant. Therefore the Cu-T is to be inserted only in the post menstrual phase of the cycle, preferably within first 10 days.
2. You should not have any infection in the genital tract. Cu-T may flare up such infections. Your complaint of itching before the periods is suggesting some sort of infection. Please get it detected and treated by a Gynaecologist.
3. The uterus should not have any tumour like fibroid in the uterus. Clinical examination by a Gynaecologist and Ultrasonography can check this possibility.
Please get yourself thoroughly examined from a Gynaecologist for fitness for the Cu-T before you get it inserted.
I hope this helps you.
