Using Paraguard Iud For Years. Abdominal Pain, Back Ache, Bloating, Pain During Bowels, Sex Painful. Treatment?
I ve hade my paraguard iud for almost 5yrs now come this march, but for the last few weeks I ve been experiencing a whole lot of abdominal pain, back pain, painful bloating(gas) and a lot of pain when moving my bowels. I first noticed once my period ended this month and I was having cramps long after my cycle was through, and my discharge was a bit smelly and tinged with a little bit of blood. Those symptoms went away but I m left a low libido and can be painful at times to have sex, along with the other symptoms I first discussed with you. I ve checked and I can still feel the strings to my iud but what do u think is wrong and how can I treat it??
Hi, Welcome to HCM. You can still rarely feel strings in a displaced paraguard, especially if it has migrated into myometrium (wall of uterus). Just get one transvaginal scan done to know position of paraguard. Also infection of genital tract can cause all the symptoms mentioned by you. Consult a gynecologist for the same. Wish you good health.
