Patient's question:
The baby is 9 months old and being breastfed. My period was 5 days late last month and has been 14 days late so far this month. I have an IUD but I'm still worried about pregnancy because I haven't had it checked to see if it has moved or fallen out. Is an ultrasound done to check if the IUD has moved?Doctor's answer:
The ring is made of different materials. To check the position of the ring, methods such as ultrasound or X-ray can be used. In this case, if it is a metal material, it can be imaged under X-rays, and a can be directly performed. If it cannot be imaged, a color ultrasound examination is required. If you want to check the position of the ring, it is recommended to use ultrasound, as ultrasound can very accurately determine the position of the ring.
