What happens if i get an infection after iud insertation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should be removed: The iud is an artifical device that creates inflammation; becoming infected, it is impossible to get rid of the bacteria that get stuck on it , and will only serve as a constant nidus of infection, and permanently damage your reproductive tract
