The symptoms of STDs are the same with or without an IUD. Most women have no symptoms at all.
The symptoms of an STI are no different with and without the IUD. If you think you're at risk for an STI, just get yourself tested. Most women with STIs have no symptoms, and there is no sense in waiting for a test.

The signs of infection with an IUD are the same as without an IUD:

  • Malodorous or abnormal discharge;
  • Pelvic pain;
  • Pain with sex;
  • Bleeding after sex;
  • Fever or chills;
  • Painful urination.

Other conditions besides infection can cause some of these symptoms, but if you have any of these, it makes sense to contact your health care provider.l

The IUD does not change or affect STD symptoms. Most women, with or without an IUD, have no symptoms when infected with an STD. If a woman has symptoms, they could include bumps, sores, discharge, painful urination, pelvic pain, painful sex, or bleeding after sex. If you are at risk for STDs, see your health care provider for testing.

Why is monogamy a requirement for placement of an IUD?

Monogamy is not necessarily a "requirement" for placement of an IUD. However, it is VERY highly recommended that you be in a monogamous relationship, as IUDs do not offer protection from STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), and complication rates increase DRAMATICALLY in the event a woman contracts an STD with an IUD in place. These complications can include pelvic inflammatory disease, scarring, and infertility to name a few. If you have an IUD and have multiple sexual partners, you will additionally need to use condoms to protect from STDs.

Can you get chlamydia if you have an IUD?

The course differs for different people. If a woman has chlamydia when the IUD is inserted, the risk of PID is quite high. It appears that with the IUDs currently on the market in the US, the course is about the same as for women without IUDs. However, most women should avoid IUDs unless they're in a committed relationship, and should make sure she and her partner are tested before exchanging potentially infectious fluids.
