Although we might be familiar with the usage of
a menstrual cup, the real confusion arises when
it comes to using the menstrual cup with
IUD (intrauterine contraceptive device). 
4
This concern bothers both the one who already
has an IUD and decides to use a menstrual cup for
the first time or the one who is a regular user
of the cup and wishes to insert an IUD now. 
5
If you happen to belong to any one of the
category, read through the write-up to know in
depth about the things to consider while using
a menstrual cup with IUD.

WHAT IS AN IUD?
An intrauterine contraceptive device is a small,
flexible, T-shaped piece of plastic that is
inserted into the uterus, by a gynecologist, and
the strings that stay attached to it, sticks out
of the cervix, high up in the vaginal canal. 
7
The device helps in preventing pregnancy since it
is designed to change the movement of sperm cells
on the way to reach the female egg. 
8
Although it is not permanent, it last long,
approximately 12 years in certain cases. Doctors
can remove it, once a woman gets ready for
motherhood.

WHAT IS A MENSTRUAL CUP?
A menstrual cup is a U-shaped silicone device
that is pushed into the vagina for collecting
waste blood during monthly periods. It is leak
free and can be reused for several years.

Precautions to Consider while Using a Menstrual
Cup with IUD
Thus, we can see that while an IUD sits in the
uterus, a menstrual cup stays below the cervix.
11
Now if you are worried thinking whether the IUD
strings will interfere with the cup or not, then
let me assure you that this is not going to be an
issue, maximum of the time.
12
If the strings are too long, you can easily trim
them off by your gynecologist. The vital thing to
be noted is that the strings should be either
above or inside the menstrual cup. 
13
If they stay outside, the suctioning of the cup
will not function well and this can lead to
leakage of menstrual blood. Always remember that
while removing your cup,
14
if you feel sharp pain, immediately stop
everything, because most probably you have pulled
the string of the IUD. Change the way you are
gripping the cup and later see a doctor to
shorten the strings.
