Where do you get an IUD?
You can get an IUD from your women's health care provider, family planning office, or family practitioner. The IUD manufacturers often have directories that tell you names of local providers in your area.
What is the consequence if the IUD doesnt come out in five years?
There are no health consequences to leaving the IUD in longer than five years, but a hormonal IUD may not be effective past its useful life span.
What does it mean if you keep getting uti with IUD?
The IUD is not likely to change the odds of UTI. Talk with your health care provider about possible causes.
Is it normal to feel the IUD on one side?
It is not normal to feel the IUD at all. If you are having pain or cramping, see your health care provider.
Why do you have strains since you got a paragard IUD?
The Paragard IUD will not cause muscle strains. See your health care provider for evaluation of your symptoms.
You have an IUD and about four weeks ago you had a biopsy done on your cervix now you are 3 weeks pregnant is there any way that the doctor moved the IUD?
I would consult a health clinic and ask them to get a 2nd opinion. You will need to find a doctor that it is not in the same health system as they usually stick together. Alternately, get an ultrasound and find out if the IUD is at the fundus. If so, the doctor didn't move the IUD.
What can you do if pregnant while on IUD and want to terminate pregnancy?
Whether you decide on a medication or suction abortion, your health care provider will remove the IUD first. After the abortion, you can have another IUD, if you choose. If you decide on an in-clinic abortion, the IUD can be removed immediately prior to the abortion, without an extra visit.
What if the IUD is lodged in your uterus?
If you can feel the IUD coming out you need to contact your health care provider so that it can be removed. You may not have pregnancy protection, so consider the morning after pill if you've had sex in the last five days. Use a backup method of birth control until you know that the IUD is protecting you.
How long are the IUD strings?
The strings on an IUD are very long when it is removed from the package. After insertion of the IUD, a health care provider typically trims the strings so that they're about 3-4 cm long measuring from the opening of the cervix.
Does copper IUD cause pigmentation?
The copper IUD does not change pigmentation. If you have an excess of copper (WIlson's disease), the disease could cause change in pigmentation, and the IUD could worsen that. Talk with your health care provider about your particular situation.
Can a dr see if you are pregnant while inserting an IUD?
The doctor can't see if you are pregnant while inserting an IUD. Your health care provider will ask questions and probably do a urine pregnancy test to make sure that you are not getting an IUD when you are already pregnant.
What does it mean if you see IUD?
If you can see your IUD, it is not protecting you from pregnancy. Use a backup method and see your health care provider to discuss effective options for pregnancy prevention.
