Can Your IUD Fall Out?

Peoples opt to get IUDs because they are pretty reliable contraceptive options and also for management of certain symptoms. But yes things happen, and there’s a chance your IUD might fall out.

If your IUD’s strings feel longer or shorter than usual, or you can’t feel the strings at all, it’s possible that your IUD has moved or fallen out.

While most IUDs never move, IUD expulsions (when IUDs fall out) do occur in 2–10 percent of patients.

The only way to be sure is to make an appointment to get it checked out.

Remember that if your IUD has moved or got expelled, then there’s a risk of an unintended pregnancy.
