An IUD is one of the most reliable forms of long-term contraception — but only when it stays in the correct position.
IUD expulsion (or falling out) is more common than most women realise, and the warning signs are easy to dismiss or miss entirely.
Dr. Sylvia explains the six key signs that your IUD may have moved or been expelled, why IUD failure puts you at immediate pregnancy risk, and exactly what to do if you suspect a problem. Do not assume your contraception is working — know the warning signs.
