Cases of IUD Embedding in the Uterus
IUDs are one of the most effective forms of contraceptive and over the past decades, use of these devices has increased dramatically. Many women turn to an IUD because there is less room for human failure. It is always in place and you don’t have to remember to take a pill or use other forms of contraception. However, there is a real potential for serious complications that can require surgery, including a full hysteroscopy or laparoscopy. That is why patients should be aware of problems that other patients have experienced.

How is an IUD Inserted?
A speculum is used to open the vagina and an applicator tube is inserted through the cervix and into the uterus. Once the IUD is in place, the applicator is removed and the T-shaped arms of the device are released so that the device is securely placed in the uterine wall.

Potential IUD Complications
Unfortunately, the insertion process can be extremely painful for some women. In addition, there is a chance that the IUD will be expelled over time. If the IUD isn’t in place, there is an increased risk of pregnancy. While doctors aren’t exactly sure why expulsion occurs, it could simply be the result of the body rejecting a foregin object. You may notice the device actually protruding from your vagina or you could experience cramping and bleeding when it becomes dislodged. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see the doctor.

In more severe cases, the IUD can perforate the wall of the uterus. Typically, this occurs during the insertion process, which is why you should seek out an experienced physician. If the uterus wall is pierced, you will experience extreme cramps along with bleeding. Both the bladder and the uterus may also be affected and lead to more pain.
The IUD can also become embedded in the uterus. When this occurs, doctors will have to remove it using a hysteroscopy or laparoscopy, depending on the location of the IUD. There have even been some cases where the IUD becomes loose and is able to travel through the body and into the abdominal cavity. These cases will also require surgery.
While many women have had IUDs successfully inserted and removed without any complications, there are real dangers when it comes to use IUDs. Be aware that the IUD can become embedded in the uterus and require surgery.
