Question
I found an intrauterine device (IUD) in my uterus during pregnancy and am worried it might affect my baby’s health.
Answer
According to medical advice, if the IUD does not cause a miscarriage and the fetus is growing normally, the IUD can be removed during childbirth without needing to be removed during pregnancy, which has a smaller impact on the fetus. If you are concerned about the IUD’s effect on the fetus, you can consult with an obstetrician-gynecologist for professional advice and undergo necessary examinations and monitoring.
