A member asked:
What type of complications could arise from having an iud in the cervical canal for too long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IUD: Whenever an iud is improperly placed, there is the risk of pregnancy. That would be the main complication. There might also be some spotting, irritation and increased risk of infection.
