What are the chances of ectopic pregnancy with an IUD?

The IUD usually refers to an intrauterine device (IUD), and the chances of an ectopic pregnancy are higher when the IUD fails.
For women who have an IUD for contraception, the chances of pregnancy are usually lower if the IUD does not dislodge or fall out. However, when the IUD is dislocated, the chance of unwanted pregnancy usually increases. And because the IUD can interfere to some extent with the embryo’s movement and implantation, the chances of ectopic pregnancy will increase at this time.
Therefore, if you experience menopause with irregular bleeding and lower abdominal pain after getting an IUD, you should be alert to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. The symptoms mentioned above must go to the hospital as soon as possible for a detailed examination, such as blood HCG monitoring and ultrasound monitoring, etc., to clarify whether there is an ectopic pregnancy, and if necessary, surgical treatment is needed.
