/

“ Although ACOG does not recommend that women remove IUDs themselves, some IUD users who wish discontinuation may, after counseling, choose to attempt self-removal. This ACOG guidance, which is continually updated as new findings emerge, should help clinicians caring for women to provide judicious, timely advice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
