Will I have an ectopic pregnancy after having an IUD inserted? Increase the chance of ectopic pregnancy

The intrauterine contraceptive device is what we often call "interruption". It is a common contraceptive method. Although it is relatively safe, has a high success rate of contraception, and is less harmful to women's bodies, it still cannot achieve a 100% contraceptive rate after the placement of the IUD. We all know that ectopic pregnancy has a huge impact on pregnant women, and severe cases may lose their lives. So, will ectopic pregnancy occur after the placement of the IUD?

Ectopic pregnancy may still occur after the IUD is inserted. The IUD cannot achieve 100% complete contraception. Although the probability of ectopic pregnancy after the IUD is relatively low, long-term placement may increase the chance of ectopic pregnancy. We know that the role of the IUD is to have a contraceptive effect, and under normal circumstances, the contraceptive rate of the IUD can reach more than 95%, and the chance of pregnancy after the IUD is less than 5%.
If menstruation is delayed after the IUD is inserted, it is best to go to the hospital to check whether you are pregnant or have an ectopic pregnancy. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs, you should follow the doctor's advice and seek timely treatment. The specific reasons are as follows:
1. The IUD can only prevent pregnancy in the uterus, but cannot prevent pregnancy outside the uterus. According to relevant data, the longer the IUD is used, the higher the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy rarely occurs in patients who use the IUD within 2 years, so regular check-ups are also required after the IUD is inserted.
2. After the IUD is inserted, the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy is related to pelvic inflammatory infection, so a gynecological examination should be performed before the IUD is inserted to check for inflammation, and attention should be paid to sexual hygiene after the IUD is inserted. Because the IUD can cause ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to take precautions and conduct follow-up examinations after the IUD is inserted.
As can be seen from the above, regular check-ups after IUD insertion are very necessary, and more attention should be paid to preventing gynecological infection. If you are infected with gynecological diseases, you should insert an IUD after recovery. In daily life, if female friends experience amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and irregular vaginal bleeding, they should be alert to the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy and seek examination and treatment as soon as possible.
