Does the iud paraguard cause weight gain?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Paragard is an IUD that does not contain hormones. Paragard does not affect one's weight. However, over-eating, hormonal imbalances, and pregnancy all can increase one's weight. A person with unexpected weight gain or weight loss should be evaluated by her primary care doctor.

No, wrong orifice: The intrauterine IUD has no bearing on the amount of oral food intake, the most likely cause of weight gain.
