Can IUDs cause repeated UTIs?

Question

Hi all
I'm on a copper coil (non hormonal IUD) and find that since i got it put in about a year ago, I am getting UTIs more frequently. Do any of you have a similar experience with this and how do you deal with it?

Thanks!

Answer

Yep I'm experiencing the same thing xx what really helps me is the moment I feel it coming I sit on a hot waterbottle for like 2hrs and it kind of vanishes. Because most UTIs arent bacterial warmth reallt helps

Answer

Yes! They do! With my first one I got them often but with my new paraguard I dont.
