Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My wife has been amenorrheic for 37 days. She went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with early pregnancy. However, my wife had an IUD inserted in September. The ultrasound results showed: early pregnancy, IUD in lower uterine position (O-type loop). The doctor recommended an abortion, but my husband and I want to keep the baby. Is it possible?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is best not to, and it is recommended to actively go to the hospital for an abortion. After the IUD is inserted, it may cause contraceptive failure and lead to pregnancy due to its displacement. Whether the pregnancy can continue generally depends on the position of the IUD. The main consideration is whether the position of the IUD affects the fetal growth and development. If there is no compression of important organs of the baby, the child can be kept. Your position is lower, and the impact should not be significant, as long as there is no bleeding during pregnancy, it is generally fine. It is recommended that you continue to monitor the situation.
