Patient's question:
Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. Will I still get an ectopic pregnancy after getting an IUD?Doctor's answer:
If you have an intrauterine device (IUD), it is generally not possible to get pregnant. If you do become pregnant, it is also important to be aware of the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. While it is not common, pregnancy with an IUD can occur, and it may increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.To determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy, symptoms, physical signs, and imaging tests such as color Doppler ultrasound are typically required. If a pregnancy test shows no gestational sac in the uterus, it is important to be cautious and consider the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy.
