Will I get an ectopic pregnancy if I have an IUD inserted?

The purpose of IUD insertion is to achieve more effective birth control, but this method is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy and there is a possibility of contraceptive failure. There is a possibility of ectopic pregnancy with IUD insertion, so friends must be extra careful, and any pain in the lower abdomen must be checked and treated in time.

1. Will there be an ectopic pregnancy after IUD insertion?

There is still a possibility of ectopic pregnancy after IUD insertion. The IUD is not a 100% complete contraceptive and there is a possibility of contraceptive failure. That is, there is a possibility of pregnancy or even ectopic pregnancy. If menstruation is delayed, it is best to go to the hospital to check whether you are pregnant or have an ectopic pregnancy. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs, it is best to follow the doctor's advice and seek timely treatment.

2. Reasons for ectopic pregnancy after IUD insertion

1. An IUD can only prevent pregnancy in the uterus, but cannot prevent pregnancy outside the uterus. Moreover, according to relevant information, the longer the IUD is used, the higher the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy rarely occurs in patients who have used the IUD within 2 years, so regular check-ups are required after the IUD is inserted.

2. Another reason is that after the IUD is inserted, the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy is related to pelvic inflammatory infection, so a gynecological examination should be performed before the IUD is inserted to check for inflammation. At the same time, attention should be paid to sexual hygiene after the IUD is inserted. Because IUD insertion can cause ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to take precautions and conduct follow-up examinations after insertion.

From the above, it can be seen that regular check-ups after IUD insertion are very necessary, and more attention should be paid to preventing gynecological disease infections. If infected with gynecological diseases, IUD insertion should be done after recovery. In daily life, if female friends experience amenorrhea, abdominal pain, or irregular vaginal bleeding, they should be alert to the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy and seek examination and treatment as soon as possible.

IUD insertion is a problem that many women will encounter, but it is not very safe. If an ectopic pregnancy is discovered, correct treatment must be taken. Of course, I believe that many women know that if there are other methods of contraception, they will decide not to choose IUD insertion. However, not all cases of IUD insertion will result in ectopic pregnancy. So women don’t have to worry too much.
