I have had an IUD for 5 years and it's been 1 month since it was supposed to be removed, but I can't seem to get an appointment with a doctor. Is this serious?

It is important to have your intrauterine device (IUD) removed by a healthcare provider after the recommended timeframe to ensure optimal effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. If you are unable to schedule an appointment with a doctor, you can try reaching out to a clinic or healthcare resource for assistance. It is recommended to use an alternative form of contraception, such as condoms, in the meantime.
