Text: Normally, removal problems are limited to the I.U.D. being stuck in the wall of the uterus. The uterine lining (or “endometrium”) tends to grow thick, soft, and fast, so that it can be shed more or less monthly (this is a period). When that happens, a gynecologist can insert a tool to sort of scrape it out. Then, things proceed as expected. If it’s really in there, or if the I.U.D. has poked through the uterus (Super duper rare, I swear!) then surgery is an option. Don’t worry, they won’t go in blind. They use an ultrasound to see where the I.U.D. is. There an outside one on the belly and an inside one, where the probe goes into the vagina.
