Hi thanks for writing to hcm.
Firstly you need to check out if the tag of the IUD is present or has it gone missing. Since IUDs are known for causing pelvic inflammatory disorders, kindly visit a gynaecologist. A Ultrasonographic scan will help visualise if the IUD is in position or not.
If there is any infection you will be given antibiotics along with analgesics and antiinflammatory drugs to bring it under control.
