What happens when your iud moves?
It’s time to talk about what no one wants to discuss – when your IUD decides to move. Yeah, that small little device you got implanted thinking it would stay in place forever? It’s like a fickle friend who will just pick up and leave every once in a while without any notice.
But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here is everything you need to know about what happens when your IUD decides to go on an adventure without your permission.
First Things First: How Does An IUD Move In The First Place?
Your copper T-shaped buddy doesn’t have legs or wings. So how can it simply disconnect from its assigned home in the uterus? There are several reasons why this could happen:
- Sudden weight gain
- Childbirth
- Vigorous exercise (yeah, we’re as surprised as you)
- Fibroids
- Rare cases of uterine perforation during insertion
Think of it like watching a toddler trying to balance blocks; they might stack them perfectly at first but then suddenly knock them over with their little hands moving around too much. That’s pretty much how your IUD feels when things get shaken up down there.
Symptoms Of A Moving/Shifted/Dislodged/Crooked/Tilted/Bent/Sideways/Misplaced/Wandering/Swerving Drunkenly (?) IUD
As if regular period symptoms aren’t enough fun already laughs sarcastically. Here are some additional indicators showing that something isn’t right:
Pain And Discomfort
If you begin experiencing pain and cramps that come out of nowhere, chances are high that something irregular is going on.
Bleeding
Irregular bleeding can occur whether it’s lighter or heavier than usual – close attention should be paid during menstruation because even slight changes may indicate there’s more happening internally.
No Longer Feeling Your IUD Strings
It’s important to regularly check your IUD strings. If you no longer feel them, it might mean they have migrated or moved somewhere else.
What Happens Next?
Now let’s say one of the above scenarios happen and there’s a chance that your little friend has decided to take leave from its designated location. What should be done? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered on this too.
Appointment With Your Healthcare Provider
The first thing to do is make an appointment with your healthcare provider who inserted the device in the first place rolls eyes at another appointment. They can do an ultrasound or pelvic exam to determine if any changes have occurred according to the code (and by “code” we mean medical regulations).
Removal
If it turns out that your IUD has basically packed up and left without saying goodbye for good, then removal is necessary (sobs quietly as pockets get emptier). In some cases when they slightly shift around down there, a repositioning may occur – but full removal needs to happen when serious movement beyond “logical migration” takes place.
After removing it , expect some bleeding similar to what occurs during regular periods which will cease once healing begins.
Conclusion
IUDs are supposed protect us from pregnancy panic attacks, giving us peace of mind while going through daily life activities; however complications/additional issues aren’t excluded. Although rare instances happen like devices moving due exercising or abdominal contractions – periodic examinations/check-ups are encouraged for prevention purposes so talk over any concerns moving forward!
