Your IUD has been in for 20 years what will this do?

If your IUD has been in place for 20 years, it is likely past its recommended lifespan. Most IUDs are designed to be effective for 3 to 10 years, depending on the type. Keeping it in beyond its expiration can increase the risk of complications, such as infection or unintended pregnancy. It is important to consult a healthcare provider to discuss removal and potential replacement.
