Hi doctor, i have a loop as my choice of contraception, however my partner has been complaining about the strings that they are uncomfortable during intercourses. is this a common problem or i need to get it checked out?

Talk to your DR: An IUD is a small, T-shaped plastic device that contains hormones that prevent you from becoming pregnant. The IUD is inserted into your uterus by your doctor. A plastic string tied to the end of the IUD hangs down through the cervix into the vagina. It is not common for the strings to irritate the penis during intercourse, especially when wearing a condom (for STD protection), but it can happen.
