A member asked:
Good day. i have a five year iud inserted.(copper t) and my five years expires tomorrow. what are the risks of not having it removed on the exact date? and is it normal to have side effects once the five years has passed?(abdominal pain& discharge)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IUD expiration dates: An IUD that has an expiration date is one that will no longer provide consistent protection against unplanned pregnancy and should be removed and/or replaced. Abdominal/pelvic pain with discharge may indicate an intrauterine infection that needs a MD's immediate attention. Now, you have two major reasons for seeing a GYN MD ..
