Is it possible for my IUD string to become unraveled and poke me?

It is possible for the strings of an intrauterine device (IUD) to become unraveled or feel uncomfortable. If you are experiencing this, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure that the device is still in place. In the meantime, using a backup contraceptive method such as condoms is recommended. If you are also experiencing symptoms like abdominal pain, cramps, or fever, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Make sure to attend your follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider after getting an IUD inserted to ensure its effectiveness and proper placement.
