Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have had an IUD for twenty-two years and have never had it removed. Now, I always feel lower back pain. Is it caused by this reason? Can it be removed?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Hello, according to your description, having an intrauterine device (IUD) usually does not cause any side effects.
Guidelines:
Generally, if you do not feel any discomfort, there is no need to remove the IUD. If there is an infection, it may lead to IUD adhesion. If there is no infection, there is usually no significant impact. Having an intrauterine device generally does not cause any side effects. If you experience amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), it is necessary to remove it as soon as possible. Good luck!
