A member asked:
I went to the doctor and my doctor couldnt find my string for my iud and now i have to get a ultrasound to see where it is what is the risk ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal: There is no risk to the ultrasound; and only minimal risk to removing the iud with no string present. The procedure might be slightly more uncomfortable than if the string were present. Discuss the specific risks with your doctor.
