expulsion of coil (IUCD)

Last edited 07/2019

  • has been estimated that expulsion of IUC occurs in approximately 1 in 20 women and is most common in the first 3 months after insertion and often occurs during menstruation

  • anecdotal evidence suggests that a past history of IUC expulsion increases the risk of future/subsequent expulsions
