Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I still get pregnant after getting an IUD?Doctor's answer:
The success rate of intrauterine devices (IUDs) is approximately 85% to 90%. After pregnancy with an IUD, there may be cases of intrauterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy. The consequences of pregnancy with an IUD differ from general pregnancy, with a higher incidence of spontaneous abortion. There is also a higher occurrence of postpartum bleeding, stillbirths, and premature birth. Although the incidence of congenital anomalies has not been found to be higher in infants delivered at full term with an IUD, in cases of miscarriage during pregnancy with a stainless steel ring, the ring has been found to be wrapped around the fetus. Therefore, it is advisable for women with pregnancy with an IUD to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible.
