Are There Any Side Effects For IUD?
Hi, I'm Mary from Malaysia. Age 25, height-165cm, weight 60kg.
I am healthy. I do not have any allergy, non smoker and I don't drink.
I've been considering to have and copper IUD since 2months ago and I've read a lot about it-the pros and cons. I become sexually active early this year with my fiance.
I've had my pap smear and few other tests and I'm free from any STD and infection. My gynecologist does not really recommends me for having IUD because I've never pregnant and giving birth. But he advised me not to go for any hormonal contraceptives considering my family medical history (my mom had a breast cancer and brain tumor). So far I think I do not have problems to have IUD except the face I have never pregnant which might cause some complications.
I really want to give it a try. I tried to find articles or users experiences on how the IUD change their daily lifestyle.
I'm doing photography and exercise 4-5 days a week mainly jogging and climbing stairs ( for 27 floors)
I'm afraid that by maintaning my daily lifestyle with IUD inside my body will affect it, or my lifestyle would be altered.
( I have appointment with my gynecologist tomorrow to 'instal' the IUD)
Thank you
