Patient's question:
I have been a mother for over a year. Later, for contraception, I chose to have an intrauterine device (IUD). However, recently when I had a physical check-up, I found that the IUD has shifted slightly. I don't know if the displacement of the IUD can lead to pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Repositioning may lead to pregnancy issues, as the effectiveness of contraception may be reduced. It is recommended that you pay timely attention to your body. Additionally, you can visit a regular medical institution to reinsert the intrauterine device (IUD), which can also achieve effective contraception while minimizing harm to your body. It is best to avoid multiple miscarriages, as this can also affect your overall health.When an embryo attempts to implant in the uterus, the continuously moving IUD scrapes against the uterine wall, causing aseptic inflammation of the uterus. This prevents the embryo from implanting normally and leads to miscarriage, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception.
