An intrauterine device (IUD) is typically about the size of a small T or letter "T," measuring around 1.5 to 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide. It is designed to be inserted into the uterus and remains there to provide long-term contraception, usually for several years, depending on the type. The exact dimensions can vary slightly depending on the specific brand and model of the IUD.
Yes, if you get pregnant on the IUD it needs to be removed, regardless of whether you intend to continue or terminate the pregnancy.
A Multiload IUD is a copper IUD.
The ParaGard IUD is T shaped and it contains copper.
Generally the IUD (a device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy) is very safe. You should not have to worry about a big penis hurting it or bumping into it. However, if you experience unusual pain or bleeding after sexual intercourse, it is always wise to see a doctor.
You can get trichomoniasis regardless of whether you have an IUD. The IUD does not cause or prevent trich.
You can get an infection with or without the IUD. Expulsion of an IUD doesn't increase the risk of infection.
Yes, you can certainly get an IUD if you have HPV.
How do you get your IUD removed
If the IUD is not in the uterus, it has likely fallen out.
Allergy to copper or Wilson's disease are contraindications to the copper IUD that don't apply to the levonorgestrel IUD. In addition, severe anemia is a contraindication for the copper IUD, but may be an indication for the levonorgestrel IUD, particularly if the anemia is exacerbated by heavy periods.
Fertility returns to your baseline after removal of the IUD. Whether it's easy to get pregnant after removal depends on your fertility, not the IUD.
An IUD does not tickle. It is not something you feel when it is in place.
