Can IUD Cause Severe Pain And Cramping During Bowel Movement?
Good afternoon Doctor, I have a lot of cramps outside my period times (Normal cramping expected: about half a week before and after) and I have an intra-uterine device (IUD). I experience a lot of cramping, sharp pains especially when I have to have a bowel movement. Is there a reason for this, is this cause to get the IUD removed? Thank-you, Concerned.

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
YES IUDS CAN DO CAUSE PAIN EVEN DURING BOWEL MOVEMTS
HOWERVER IF YOUR SUFFERING FROM LONGER DUARATION MORE THAN 2 MONTHS OR SO AND SEVERE IN INTENSITY. YOU NEED TO GET YOURSELF CHECKED FOR PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE FROM YOUR GYNECOLOGIST
HOWEVER YOU CAN TRY WITH NSAIDS FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF LIKE TAB DICLOFENAC 50MG BD FOR 5 DAYS
IF STILL PROBLEM PERSIST YOU CAN THINK OF ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF CONTRACEPTION
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
