Removal of a Copper IUD: When and What to Expect

In copper IUD removal, the copper-coated device is removed from the body after being worn for a period of time.

Treatments such as copper IUD removal involve removing the copper-coated device from the body. These procedures are effective when copper-coated devices aren’t removed during periods. 

KAMPALA, UGANDA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Copper IUD removal is a treatment that is performed to remove the copper-coated device from the body. This type of treatment is effective when copper-coated devices are not removed during menstruation. 

  • There are some side effects associated with copper IUD removal, but they do not have to be permanent. 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.

If you are considering removing your copper-coated devices, it is important to visit a qualified doctor for a consultation. Coastal Family Health is experienced in women’s health and can give you the information you need to make an informed decision about the procedure.

Expulsion rates for copper IUD removal

Expulsion rates of copper IUDs

Expulsion rates of copper IUDs are not as high as those of other contraceptive devices. Depending on which type of copper IUD is used, the rate of expulsion varies.

In the first year, approximately 5% of women remove the copper IUD. Usually, this is due to pelvic pain or bleeding. Expulsion rates of smaller copper IUDs are less than half of the rate of larger copper IUDs.

In the present study, 8.0% of women experienced total IUD expulsion at 6 months. Of these women, 24.0% experienced partial or complete expulsion before the clinical examination. 

However, the rate of expulsion was higher in those women who had undergone vaginal delivery. The expulsion rates were similar in women who had undergone immediate vaginal delivery and after caesarean delivery.

Another study found a relationship between the expulsion rate and the type of IUD used. While Copper-T and Nova-T had similar expulsion rates, the latter had higher continuation rates. 

Further, women who had heavy menstrual bleeding or uterine leiomyomas had higher expulsion rates. This association may be due to abnormal uterine contractility and heavy menstruation.

Symptoms of copper IUD removal

Symptoms of copper IUD removal

A copper IUD is a hormonal contraception device that can be removed by a healthcare provider. The copper-based ParaGard IUD is approved for 10 years and prevents sperm from fertilizing an egg. 

While copper-based contraception is safe, it can cause spotting and period-type cramping. The spotting and bleeding usually subside after about three months. Most women experience a regular bleeding pattern again after the copper IUD is removed.

A copper IUD can cause a number of health problems, including an overabundance of copper in the body. This substance can sit in the wrong spot, move through a small hole in the wall of the uterus, or get stuck. 

This metal can also cause infections, which can be treated with antibiotics. 

Copper IUDs also make it difficult to become pregnant and increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy, which takes place in the fallopian tubes.

While copper-based IUDs are generally safe, the risks of getting pregnant are higher when the device is not placed in the correct location.

Women who are planning to remove their copper IUD should discuss alternative methods of birth control with their healthcare providers and discuss the risk of becoming pregnant.

Cost of copper IUD removal

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends copper IUD removal after 10 years of use. This contraception helps to prevent pregnancy by keeping the sperm from fertilizing the egg. 

Copper acts as a spermicide by changing the way they move. It prevents sperm from swimming to eggs and from breaking through the mucus lining of the uterus, thus preventing pregnancy.

However, it does not prevent STIs. You should consider other birth control methods that do not use the copper IUD.

A copper IUD is usually removed by a health care provider. Most women do not experience any adverse effects. However, in rare cases, a copper IUD may lead to bleeding and discomfort during a period. 

The doctor may prescribe medicines to open the cervix or do a surgical procedure to remove the copper IUD. The procedure itself costs between $108 and $472. This varies depending on the location of the procedure and the healthcare provider who is performing it. 

In some cases, health insurance will cover the cost. For people without insurance, removing a copper IUD can be expensive. But there are ways to reduce the cost.

Cost of copper IUD removal

DMPA-IM

A recent study of DMPA-IM vs. copper IUD removal has revealed that the DMPA-IM procedure is safer and more effective than copper IUDs. However, it is not without risks. 

During the study, more than 400 women were diagnosed with HIV. The study’s design allowed for the analysis of side effects. Despite this, the results are not conclusive.

During the 28-day study, DMPA-IM treatment had a significant effect on menstruation. In fact, women who received DMPA-IM had a lower risk of experiencing a heavy period than women who received copper IUDs. 

In addition, the women who received DMPA-IM experienced fewer bleeding days than women who received copper IUDs.

However, it is important to note that copper IUDs can still cause severe abdominal pain. Some women with copper IUDs may experience heavy menstrual periods and severe cramping, which requires treatment from a health care professional. 

However, these symptoms are not permanent and usually fade with time.
