Patient's question:
Can you get pregnant after having an IUD for 3 years?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the IUD insertion, an unexpected pregnancy was discovered. First, the IUD needs to be removed, and only after that can the surgery be performed. If it is confirmed to be an intrauterine pregnancy, it is generally only possible to perform the procedure within the first 10 weeks of gestation. At this time, the uterus is not too large, there is not much gestational tissue, the fetus is small, and it is easy to remove, which can minimize the harm of the abortion procedure. There are two types of abortion methods commonly used for abortion procedures: medical abortion and surgical abortion. Medical abortion is suitable for gestation within 7 weeks, while surgical abortion is suitable for gestation within 10 weeks.
