Hello- First, thanks for reading (kinda long)... hoping to gain a little insight to this crazy discovery!!
I had an IUD placed in Feb 2020 during my tubal. I had a babe approx 2 months prior. This was not my first IUD. Fast forward to Jan 2021 I had some extreme abdominal cramping and heavy bleeding. Couldn't find my strings. OB did an xray and stated they didn't see the IUD and I must have expelled it. (honestly feel I would have known if I had but idk š¤·āāļø) During 2021 I continued with heavy painful periods. By that December I had a hysterectomy. I was over the heavy bleeding and cramping. Nothing reported about a perforation to my uterus. Tbh I'm not sure if they even check those things in a hysterectomy. In Feb 2022 I was doubled over in low abdominal pain for several days with a fever. I was sent to the hospital from work. In the ER they started me on abx and admitted me.The following day they went back in surgically. This time a general surgeon in addition to 2 OBs. General surgeon said to close me up because there was tons of adhesions and inflammation. Reportedly "It was a mess in there." That evening or next day they placed a drain via CT for a sac of fluid they said was in my abd. No word about seeing an iud during the CT but then again not sure if they were looking. Ultimately, they said they were unsure what the cause of my pain was and discharged me. Now the last few years I would occasionally get this intense abd pain. Like doubled over, can't breathe type. I never went to a dr about the pain because I couldn't explain it. I couldnt pinpoint or do anything to exacerbate it. It just didn't make sense. Initially the pain was on my right side but the last couple times it has been on my left! So I went to a chiropractor yesterday for an adjustment. He takes an xray and BAM!!! PLAIN AS DAY- this mysterious, rogue IUD is BUSTED!!!
SO- my question is, HOW IN THE WORLD was it not seen in the previous xray and CT????
Thanks for reading.. I'm genuinely curious! Can the little bugger really hide that well???
This is why the medical system fails when it comes to womenās reproductive health REGULARLY. And when we disclose our pain, we arenāt believed. I also had a IUD migrate and ended up near a Fallopian tube and was doubling me over in pain. I ended up in the ER and had it emergency removed and when they asked me if I wanted another I said absolutely not. Iāve been off birth control and tracking my cycles for 8 years now and I will never go back. The nightmares I have experienced with the lack of knowledge by actual doctorās about womenās health is staggering. I am so fucking sorry you went through this. Terrifying.
Hahahaha i love it when western medicine is so skeptical of ancient medicine when western medicine fucks up like this regularly.

Iām with you there! I think a healthy individual focuses on all 3. There are so many things eastern or ancestral medicine can teach us. Obviously western medicine has its benefits but I donāt think itās infallible considering even medical textbooks donāt have correct female reproductive anatomy- which leads to ignorance from doctors about women, and worst case scenario we get situations like this.
