What Causes Pain In The Tailbone After Getting A Paragard IUD Inserted?
Hello doctor. I got the paragard IUD inserted a couple of weeks ago and for about a week I was getting severe cramps but the cramps stopped for a couple of days. Then all of a sudden I started to get random spasms of awful pain in my tailbone that lasted about a week and a half. The pain is not as awful now but I still have some pain every now and then. Is this something I should worry about? I m wondering if this has nothing to do with the IUD and if I should get it checked out. Thank you

Hello,
Your symptoms do not seem to be related to the IUD. Anyway, I would recommend performing an abdominal ultrasound in order to check it. I would also recommend performing a sacral X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation).
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
