Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello!I have had an IUD for 6 months. It should be a very effective method of contraception, but I still worry every time. My period is 5 days late this time and hasn't arrived yet. I heard from the doctor that IUD displacement can lead to pregnancy again. Could you please tell me the probability of pregnancy after IUD insertion and what factors can cause displacement?
Doctor's answer:
IUD displacement usually occurs in cases of cervical relaxation or laceration, or in individuals with excessive menstrual bleeding. Your period has been more than 5 days late this time. You can visit the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check the position of the IUD and determine if you are pregnant. This is a win-win situation. Generally, doctors recommend that patients with signs of genetic risks for childbirth maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing you a healthy delivery.
