Paragard complications??!!

Question

Ladies, I've had my IUD (copper) for 4 months now. I have to admit that sex is amazing because my boyfriend and I don't understand anything else. However, ever since I got it inserted I lost 10 pounds, I now weigh 110. I've gotten a UTI, which I had never experienced before. Is that common? I maintain pretty good hygiene, I shower daily sometimes even twice a day, I don't use panty liners as they can create bacteria, due to moisture, which can lead to infection. I don't know what to do. I love how effective it is, but I'm not sure I want to deal with UTIs or more weight loss since I'm already anemic.

Answer

Are you sure it's a UTI? Have you had your urine test positive for that?  I would recommend going and getting diagnosed. If it's normal, then talk to your obgyn about the IUD if it's causing painful urination/UTI like symptoms to occur.

I'm the mean time:
- 2 litres of water a day. Literally try to drink regularly to flush out toxins or acids in your body
-avoid acidic foods
- drink cranberry juice or cranberry pills for the entire duration of the infection
-look into probiotics or hiprex to speed the recovery and prevent further infections
- cold showers, peeing in cold showers when peeing hurts too much. A gyn suggested that to me.
- ice packs on your clit/urethra area. Helps numb and reduce any swelling
- Ural or azo have been known to help with pain relief
-use baby wipes instead of toilet paper
-avoid sexual activity that can leave you raw

Answer

Are you peeing right after sex?
