A member asked:

I have horrendous pain in my right side of my groin, i also have polycystic ovaries and just had a copper coil fitted. is this pain normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, it is not: Severe pelvic pain following insertion of an iud needs to be evaluated by a clinician as soon as possible to evaluate for perforation, misplacement, or infection.
