Is there risk of infection if an IUD is dislodged?

Yes, there is a risk of infection if an IUD (intrauterine device) is dislodged, as it may create an entry point for bacteria. While the overall risk of infection associated with IUDs is generally low, dislodgment can increase the likelihood of complications. If you suspect your IUD is dislodged, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and appropriate action.
