A member asked:
Can paragard, the copper iud, cause copper toxicity within the body? hair loss, fatigue, etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Paragard: Here is an excellent article by Mayo Clinic regarding possible problems: http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/paragard/basics/risks/prc-20013048. Here is the company site: http://paragard.com/safety-and-side-effects.aspx. With symptoms of hair loss or fatigue - I would not assume that is related to the IUD. Your physician can assess to determine the cause of these sx's.
