A member asked:
Would iud perforation hurt constantly or could it come in severe flares with months in between?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies much: Many (perhaps most) uterine perforations by an IUD appear to be "silent or asymptomatic" and are only detected when the IUD strings are no longer visible. The pains or other symptoms from an IUD which has entered the abdominal cavity may depend on the type of IUD, the location of the uterine perforation, the possibility of a co-infection, the position of the IUD in the abdomen...
