hi, my wife had copper T since last 3 years and when we went to a hospital they said threads are not visible and need to use some special instruments to take it out. is this something serious? we are planning to go to hospital today. we did the scan and result showed the Copper T is in correct place. Can someone help if this is something serious or can be done without surgery?
HelloThanks for writing to ChatDoctorShe doesn't require any surgery at all. Taking out of slipped Cu-T is very simple process with the help of certain instruments. Position of Cu-T is already confirmed on USG and it in uterine cavity, so it is very simple to it out. In some cases, Cu-T retracts inside uterus or endocervical canal due to various causes and strings can't be felt manually. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
