THanks for the query
This is a very serious issue.
PLease meet a gynaec and get it removed immediately. There are high chances it might be infected or adhered to the mucosa. There are chances it might have to be operated and removed

Hi!
Welcome to HCM.older IUds were designed to last 5-10 years.Still it is better your sister sees a doctor.Also get a ultrasound of the pelvis to see whether the coil is in place .If it is in place,it can be removed by simple outpatient procedure.Take care.
