What Causes Swollen Breasts While On IUD?

My girlfriend has swollen breasts, but she has an IUD. One, is it possible she may be pregnant anyway even with an IUD? And two, what are other causes of swollen breasts? We have found ways to decrease the swelling, but then it swells back up the next day.

hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
-Pregnancy with cu T is rarely possible . It is associated with absence of menses. &can be confirmed by blood or urine pregnancy test.
- Another possibility is she must have cu T with inbuilt hormones ..here breast enlargement is due to hormone.
-Hormonal imbalance can cause irregular periods with breast engorgement. your friend may have it.
Consultation of gynecologist &needful investigations can solve the problem.
Thanks.
