Menstruation
No; the IUD does not make a hole in your uterus, nor does removal. It rests in the empty space in the uterus.
If the IUD is not in the uterus, it has likely fallen out.
The IUD does not "float," but generally remains in place at the top of the uterus.
The IUD should be at the uterine fundus, the deepest part of the uterus. It is not located in the cervix unless it is being expelled.
IUD usage is strongly associated with the development of PID. Bacteria may be introduced to the uterus while the IUD is being inserted or may travel up the tail of the IUD from the cervix into the uterus.
The IUD will not cause abdominal tightness. The IUD is in the uterus, which is behind the pubic bone; it is not in the abdomen.
Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) are inserted into the uterus
IUD insertion is a form of birth control available to people looking to avoid getting pregnant. The most common type of IUD is a copper IUD which acts as a spermicide when in the uterus.
It would have to be. The IUD is in your uterus, where the baby grows and lives in you for 9 months. Having the IUD in there could possibly damage or kill the baby.
You are in pain because your uterus is trying to expell the iud! You have to have it removed in order to ever get rid of the pain.
Two to eleven percent of women using the IUD experience an expulsion of the IUD.
The IUD belongs at the top of your uterus. That is its normal location. You will know if it is moving up into your uterus because your healthcare provider is seated between your knees inserting it.
