Patient's question:
I have had the IUD for over a year, but recently found out I was pregnant. I want this child, but I'm not sure if it will be healthy. The hospital check-up showed mostly normal results, and the doctor recommended leaving the IUD in place until the baby is born, when it would naturally come out. However, when I consulted the clinic where the IUD was inserted, the doctor there said it must be removed. I have a copper IUD, T-shaped.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Ectopic pregnancy with an intrauterine device (IUD) is generally caused by the displacement of the IUD. Generally, the IUD's effect on the embryo is still in the early stages of pregnancy. If it does not lead to a miscarriage, it will not affect the development of the embryo. The child will be less affected as they grow older. There is no need to worry. The IUD cannot be removed; if it is removed, the child may not be able to be saved. It can be taken out after delivery.Recommendations: It is recommended to have regular follow-up checks. The impact should not be significant. The older the baby gets, the smaller the effect of the IUD on her.
