A member asked:

Can i remove load 375 iud here in the us?( it is u shaped so i wonder if there are instruments in gyn offices for it). i would then put iud from here

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: over the years I've seen lots of different shaped IUDs from Europe, Russia and other countries. Most still have a string and can be removed using the string or a string retriever. Many countries use IUDs that we no longer use like the copper 7, lippe's loop and dalcon shield.
