Purportedly, an IUD that remains in the uterus beyond its recommended term can become embedded in the uterine wall. If this happens, there is an increased risk of bleeding, scarring, and pelvic infection.

The probability of this risk is undocumented, however. Moreover, an embedded IUD may not, in itself, represent a health risk independent of the trauma of removal.

If you never have an IUD removed, it can potentially stay in your body indefinitely without causing harm. However, it is recommended to have it removed after its recommended lifespan to avoid any complications or issues such as pain, infection, or displacement.
