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
