Patient's question:
What is the probability of pregnancy after an IUD insertion? I had an IUD insertion on September 22nd, and my last menstrual period was normal. It's been almost a month since then, but my body hasn't shown the usual signs of menstruation. My breasts don't hurt anymore, my abdomen doesn't hurt, I don't feel nauseous or vomit, and my appetite is even better than before. I'm very worried about pregnancy. What could be the reason for this?Follow-up question: If pregnancy occurs with an IUD, do I need to remove the IUD before an abortion? Will this surgery be very painful?

Doctor's answer:
Hello:Using an intrauterine device (IUD) can cause changes in hormone levels in the body, thereby serving as a contraceptive method. Based on your description, it may be related to the use of an IUD. It is recommended that you wait a few more days. If menstruation still does not occur, please visit the hospital to have the IUD placement checked. According to clinical experience, there have been cases of failed IUD insertion.
