<human>: 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?
<bot>: 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 Gynecologist.3. The uterus should not have any tumor like fibroid in the uterus. Clinical examination by a Gynecologist and Ultrasonography can check this possibility. Please get yourself thoroughly examined from a Gynecologist for fitness for the Cu-T before you get it inserted. I hope this helps you.
