Why does the intrauterine device (IUD) move, and can I get pregnant?

Patient's question:

August 23. Feeling a bit nauseous now.

Doctor's answer:

If the intrauterine device (IUD) shifts, it can cause sudden abdominal and back pain, vaginal bleeding, and lead to bleeding during intercourse. If it has shifted, it loses its contraceptive effectiveness, making it easier to become pregnant with the device in place, and increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Please remove the IUD 3-7 days after your menstrual period ends. In fact, in general, any form of contraception can have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as keeping warm and avoiding cold water.
