Where do IUD strings go if they get lost?

Some men feel them during intercourse, that is one way - the other is to insert your finger and use a sweeping motion to feel for the string. If you can't feel them, bare down (as if you were having a bowel movement). Never try pulling on them, you could end up with a perforated cervix or uterus. If all else fails go in to see your MD or midwife, they can tell you very quickly if the IUD is in place, it is rare but the IUD occasionally may slip out un-noticed, so if the strings are not where you remember feeling them, see your doctor.


What does it mean if you can fit your finger into your cervix when checking IUD strings - still feel the strings but have never felt the cervix open like this also having extreme back pain?

You should definitely go to your doctor as soon as you can. This could be some kind of infection, like pelvic inflamatory disease, or your IUD could be causing some kind of abnormal stress/changes to your cervix. Either way, anytime something that abnormal happens, you need to go see your OBGYN.


How can you tell how dialated your cervix are?

Have your partner insert two fingers into the vaginal canal.Make sure you use some type of lubricant before insertion. After insertion into the canal, spread your fingers inside until you feel the cervix. You should be able to tell how much of the cervix has effaced. My recommendation is to go to your health care provider so they can give you more precise answers to your question. Hope this has been helpful. Good luck!

Could having a cyst on your cervix make it painful to wear a tampon?

Yes, a cyst on your cervix could make it painful to wear a tampon. Tampons can hit the cervix as generally the cervix will sit much lower in the vagina during menstruation. Tampons also can expand into the cervix as they fill-up, lengthways expanding tampons such as Playtex are especially likely to cause this problem. Chemicals in rayon tampons like Tampax, Playtex, and Kotex may also irritate the cervix.


Why does the uterus open during pregnancy?

It shouldn't, in pregnancy a cervix should be closed if your cerix was open more that 2.5 mm they would consider you for a 'stitch' to ensure that the cervix is closed and the baby isn't born early. My advice is go to the doctor and tell them your concern there are tests they can do and sooner rather than later is better.
