Side Effects %26amp; Health Risks of Paragard


When ParaGard is put in place, cramping or pain may be experienced. Some women feel faint or dizzy. The most common side effect of ParaGard are longer and heavier periods, and some women have spotting between periods. Usually, these problems go away after a few months. However, if menstruation is very heavy or does not stop when it should, call your doctor. You should also call your doctor immediately if you miss a period, because this means that you might be pregnant. Pregnancy can pose a serious health risk for any women with an IUD in place.





Some serious health risks have been associated with intrauterine devices, including ParaGard, are pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), perforation of the uterus, expulsion of the device (the IUD falls out), and difficult removal (the IUD gets stuck in the uterus and may require surgery to remove). A comprehensive list of possible side effects and health risks of the ParaGard IUD are listed below.

Side effects and health risks. Common side effects associated with the copper IUD are increased vaginal bleeding and menstrual pain. Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Advil, Motrin, others) helps with these symptoms. Some women may also experience a pelvic infection within the first three weeks of placement, as the insertion process may introduce bacteria into the uterus. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics before insertion to reduce the risk of such infections. The copper IUD doesn't protect against STDs. IUDs also carry a risk of spontaneous expulsion 鈥?which leaves you unprotected against pregnancy 鈥?or piercing (perforation) of the uterine wall during insertion.

Have you been stressed out lately or changed your diet at all? I've got the Paragard and my hair's been doing fine~ don't rule out the IUD as the cause, of course, but check into other aspects of your current lifestyle, too.
