Is it normal that I can't feel the threads of my IUD?

24-year-old woman3 years ago
Hello, I had an IUD installed in August and I have always felt the wires until recently that I can hardly feel them anymore. I don't have a family doctor or a gynecologist so I don't know who to contact.

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!
As you had probably noticed, the wires are extremely thin and cut quite short and could be very difficult to feel. Also, they could simply be bent over on themselves, but that doesn't necessarily indicate a problem.
While it is possible that the IUD could move a tiny bit, it is quite unlikely that it has been evacuated.
When in doubt, you'll want to have a doctor check it out.
Hopefully you've been helpful, don't hesitate if you have any other questions
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
