What is IUD?
Birth control for busy moms

IUD is an intrauterine device (IUD) that’s over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. It’s made of soft, flexible plastic and placed into your uterus by your healthcare provider during a routine office visit.

IUD releases small amounts of hormones directly into the uterus and lasts as long as you want, for up to 5 years.

What You Need to Know About IUD Removal in Pakenham

 Taking out an IUD is typically a straightforward and safe process. However, there could be a few complications that may arise. Here are some essential things you must know about IUD removal:

• If the IUD is difficult to remove, the reason could be the strings being too short or hard to locate. In such cases your doctor may use an ultrasound among other tools like a cytobrush or IUD hook to extract the device from the uterus.
• In rare cases, the IUD may shift out of place leading to a puncture to the uterine wall. This might require surgery under anesthesia to remove it. Alternatively, ultrasound guidance may be utilised as a less invasive and more cost-effective option.
• If you engage in sexual activity in the days leading up to IUD removal, there is also a risk of unintended pregnancy. To prevent this, it’s necessary to discuss alternative forms of birth control with your healthcare provider before opting for IUD removal in Melb
