You can get an infection with or without the IUD. Expulsion of an IUD doesn't increase the risk of infection.
The IUD should remain in place and not become dislodged after sex, and there should be no pain while wearing the device.
Purportedly, an IUD that remains in the uterus beyond its recommended term can become embedded in the uterine wall. If this happens, there is an increased risk of bleeding, scarring, and pelvic infection. The probability of this risk is undocumented, however. Moreover, an embedded IUD may not, in itself, represent a health risk independent of the trauma of removal.
no, the iud can't cause limb loss. it should be removed early in pregnancy, though, due to infection risk. talk with your healthcare provider for advice specific to your situation.
It's not very likely especially if you have proper medical care. If you are pregnant and have an IUD in place you should see your Dr as soon as possible. The IUD puts you at greater risk of ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, infection and early labor and/or delivery.
No, it generally puts you at a greater risk for pelvic inflammatory disease and endocarditis, an infection of the heart valves.
There is no special risk from getting pregnant right after you stop using the IUD.
The IUD itself does not increase the risk of PID. If a woman has chlamydia or gonorrhea at the time of insertion, the risk of PID is increased.
Mirena does not cause infections.
No, there is no connection between IUDs and the kidney. An IUD is placed in the uterus1, which has no pathway to the kidney.1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iud
Yes, you can have another IUD inserted on the same day the old one is removed. This is a common practice.
If your partner feels the IUD strings, there is no cause for concern. if your partner feels part of the plastic of the IUD, the IUD is being expelled and you are at risk for pregnancy. Consider using emergency contraception if you've had sex in the last five days, and contact your health care provider for an immediate appointment. Use a backup method of birth control until you get checked.
