A member asked:
Is an iud a bad idea for someone with a severely incompetent cervix? couldn't it risk further damage?

No: This is an intrauterine device and has no real impact on the cervix.

IUD IS A GREAT IDEA!: Iuds are an excellent long-acting fully reversible contraceptive option for all women in mutually monogamous sexual relationships regardless of cervical incompetence. The insertion and removal of the device do not injure the cervix.
