A member asked:
Why do some women get a metallic taste in their mouths with iud insertion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We don't know: We know it is a reaction to iud. As to why i don't think we know for sure. I could be due to the active medication or the inert material that the iud is made out of which is some form of polymer.
