IUD Side Effects & Complications: What’s Normal, What’s Not

Are IUDs safe? What are the real risks and side effects—and are the horror stories true? In this video, I break down everything you need to know about IUD risks so you can make an informed decision.

As an OB-GYN, I’ve placed hundreds of IUDs. I’ll walk you through what to expect with both hormonal and non-hormonal IUDs, including:
✅ Pain and cramping during insertion
✅ Bleeding and spotting
✅ Infection and PID risk
✅ Expulsion, malposition, and rare complications
✅ Pregnancy and ectopic risk
✅ Hormonal side effects (or lack of them!)
✅ Myth-busting and what to ask your provider

📊 I include real stats and personal insight from my clinical experience so you can feel confident about your birth control options.
