More than six million people in the U.S.use onetoday.
No need to take a pill every morning, or interrupt foreplay to roll on a condom.
Does getting one mean youll have to skip your favorite HIIT classes or interval runs?
Can exercise dislodge an IUD?
Exercise isnotone of the contributing factors.
Its not going to dislodge, says Dr. DeNoble.
…
I know people get very nervous that any little thing is going to move it.
But you have to remember that the IUD is inserted inside the uterus.
Its not in the vaginal canal.
Its very difficult to move.
Still, some women may choose to wait a couple of days.
Same goes for using a hot tub and having sex.
What should I do if I think my IUD has fallen out?
Itll feel like the tip of your nose and the string will be around there, says Dr. DeNoble.
While exercising wont cause an IUD to dislodge,the suction from menstrual cupscan sometimes cause issues.
Another rare incident is perforation, when the IUD pierces through the uterus into the pelvic cavity.
Its less than one percent, one in a 1000 or so.
Its very uncommon, and its not going to happen with any kind of exercise, either.
But things you could watch out for are severe pain, or very heavy bleeding, says Dr. DeNoble.
If anything feels off, call the doctor who originally inserted your IUD.
Complications are rareand wont be brought on by your workout.
So dont let anyone scare you from getting your sweat on.
