To remove and IUD, the health care provider inserts a speculum to get a good view of cervix, grasps the strings, and pulls gently and steadily until the IUD comes out. The strings are slippery monofilament, so usually the provider uses forceps to grasp the strings.

Because it is securely attached to the IUD, an IUD string is unlikely to fall out.
