Copper IUD Removal Side Effects: What Happens After Removing a Copper IUD?

Copper IUD removal can cause some side effects, but these are not permanent. Published information indicates they diminish with time.

According to published information, copper IUD removal does have some side effects. However, these side effects do not last a lifetime.

KAMPALA, UGANDA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — It is true that copper IUD removal may cause some side effects, but they do not need to be permanent. Published research shows that these side effects are less severe as time goes on. 

  • Copper IUD removal can cause some side effects, but these side effects diminish over time according to published information.
  • IUDs that release levonorgestrel to prevent the ovulation process are among the most effective forms of birth control. They prevent conception by preventing the release of the egg from the ovary, which then travels through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. 
  • A woman’s body reacts to the presence of this device by producing an inflammatory response, which renders the uterus inhospitable for sperm and potential embryos. The inflammatory response prevents pregnancy on two fronts: first, the egg does not develop properly and will not be fertilized. This in turn prevents the fertilized egg from implanting and developing into an embryo.
  • However, this method of contraception is not without risks. A woman may develop a serious pelvic infection, which can lead to a septic spontaneous abortion. There is also concern about the risk of nulliparity and the development of STDs, especially in younger women. However, well-conducted studies indicate that the risk is low.

According to published information, these side effects diminish over time. Fortunately, there are a few options. One option is to replace the copper IUD with a hormone-free version, called a ParaGard. 

This type of IUD does not contain hormones and is reversible, but it causes a woman’s period to run 3-5 months late.

ParaGard is a hormone-free IUD

ParaGard is a hormone-free intrauterine device (IUD). However, it has a few side effects. For example, it can cause pain during sex, backaches, and anemia.

Also, it does not protect against HIV or STDs. Women who use this device should discuss the risks with their health care provider before making a decision.

ParaGard is inserted into the uterus during an office visit. During the visit, the healthcare provider will examine the patient and determine the position of the uterus. 

Once the healthcare provider has measured the uterus, they will slide the plastic tube containing the ParaGard into the uterus. Once it is inserted, the healthcare provider will remove the plastic tube. 

After the procedure, two threads of white will remain in the vagina. Afterwards, the healthcare provider may ask the patient to lie down for awhile or to get up slowly.

Another side effect of ParaGard is an increased risk of an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that begins outside the uterus. This condition is potentially life-threatening and can affect future fertility. 

If you become pregnant while using Paragard, you should immediately consult your healthcare provider to stop the pregnancy. 

Other side effects of the device include the development of a pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can lead to pelvic infections.

It is a long-lasting method of contraception

Copper IUDs prevent pregnancy

Copper IUDs prevent pregnancy by blocking the passage of sperm and eggs into the uterus. This occurs after ovulation, which occurs every 28 days. The egg is released from the ovary and travels through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. 

Once in the uterus, the fertilized egg may implant on the uterine wall, and the unfertilized egg leaves the uterus during the menstrual cycle.

The copper IUD is one of the best long-lasting methods of contraception available. It will protect a woman against pregnancy for three to 10 years, depending on the type. 

After insertion, a woman is required to go back to the doctor for a follow-up appointment to ensure the IUD is securely in place and is not causing an infection. Women who use copper IUDs may experience heavier periods and menstrual cramps.

It is reversible

Copper IUDs prevent conception. Conception occurs when a male sperm and a female egg meet. This occurs after ovulation, which occurs every 28 days. 

The egg then travels through the fallopian tubes to reach the uterus, where it fuses with the sperm. 

Once inside the uterus, fertilized eggs implant on the uterine wall. However, if the egg is unfertilized, it leaves the uterus during the menstrual cycle.

While there are serious side effects of copper IUD removal, these problems generally diminish over time. The researchers collected data on 1,947 women who used the device for one year. They examined the data to determine if there were any trends in side effects.

It causes periods to be 3-5 months late

Copper IUD removal can result in periods

Copper IUD removal can result in periods that are between three and five months late. This side effect can be uncomfortable, but the good news is that it usually improves over time. 

Published information from clinicians and women with the IUD suggests that this side effect is less frequent with time.

Women with a copper IUD may also experience heavier bleeding. This is due to the copper IUD’s effect on the endometrium. Because copper irritates tissues, it produces prostaglandins that cause inflammation in the uterine tissue. This inflammation helps heal damaged tissues.

Those who recently had a copper IUD removed may notice irregular menstruation and heavy bleeding. In some cases, this is due to a condition known as uterine fibroids or a condition called adenomyosis. 

Fibroids are growths of endometrial tissue within the uterine wall and can make your menstrual cycle irregular.

It affects the motion of sperms

side effects of copper IUD removal

The side effects of copper IUDs are usually temporary and go away within 3-6 months. However, if you are experiencing severe side effects, you should consider consulting a healthcare professional. 

Planned Parenthood says that these side effects are extremely rare and should not deter you from getting this method of contraception. 

Your healthcare provider will ask you about your health history and perform tests on your vagina, cervix, and uterus. He or she may also suggest medicines that open your cervix.

Copper-bearing IUDs work in several different ways to prevent pregnancy. The first way is by triggering the body’s immune response. When a woman’s uterus detects a foreign object in her body, her immune system will respond by attacking it. 

This inflammatory response can kill sperms and prevent the egg from fertilization. The larger the IUD, the higher the inflammatory response will be.
