What should I do if the intrauterine device (IUD) gets stuck in the flesh and cannot be removed?

Patient's question:

The IUD cannot be removed; it has grown into the flesh. Local hospitals cannot remove it.

Doctor's answer:

First, you can do an ultrasound to check how deep the IUD is embedded in the muscle layer and whether it has reached the serosa. If the entrapment is not severe, a hysteroscopy can be performed. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of contraception will have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet, keeping warm, and avoiding catching a cold.
