A member asked:
I just had an iud placed in the past month. i can feel the strings more often on some days than others, as they're closer to my vaginal entrance. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Iud strings can often hang straight and they're easier to feel. Over time, they'll usually wrap around or next to the cervix & makes it more difficult to reach them. If they bother you, your doc can shorten the length at your next visit.
