If the strings cannot be located, but the provider confirms that the IUD is in the right place, hysteroscopy may be used for removal.<\/p>\n\n\nIUD stuck in the uterine wall (Perforation)<\/h3>\n\n\n
In rare cases, an IUD may be difficult to remove<\/a> because it has become stuck in or perforated through the uterine wall.
Imaging techniques such as ultrasound or X-ray may be employed<\/a> to confirm perforation.\u00a0
Surgical removal is also required<\/a> in extremely rare cases where the IUD has moved outside the uterus.<\/p>\n\n\nSide effects of IUD removal<\/h2>\n\n\n
If women have hormonal IUDs, they can experience certain side effects after its removal. This includes<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Dolor de cabeza<\/li>\n\n\n\n
