Patient's question:
After getting married, I had a minor gynecological surgery. The doctor placed an intrauterine device (IUD) in me and advised me to rest for a year before trying to conceive. However, now it has only been five months, and I have discovered that I am pregnant. This situation has caused great distress to me and my husband. We want to know if it is safe to carry the pregnancy forward while having an IUD.Doctor's answer:
Because of pregnancy with an intrauterine device (IUD), it is very easy to lead to miscarriage, preterm birth, or fetal developmental abnormalities. Therefore, from the perspective of eugenics, it is recommended that you consider abandoning this fetus. If the pregnancy duration is relatively short, you can go to the hospital to consult an obstetrician and gynecologist for a miscarriage procedure. At the same time, the IUD can be removed. Because if pregnancy occurs with an IUD in place, it proves that the position of the IUD has already moved downward and is no longer effective for breastfeeding.
