Disadvantages of IUD

- Some side effects in certain cases Such as abdominal pain, heavy bleeding initially, especially non-hormonal types
- Must be inserted by a doctor Cannot insert or remove by yourself
- Some may feel discomfort Or experience lower abdominal pain due to the body’s response to a foreign object

Recommendations before choosing an IUD
