A strong infection caused this contraceptive method; now he fears he can’t get pregnant
One of the contraceptive methods most used by women around the world is the so-called Intrauterine Device (IUD) or the famous “Copper T”, which can be used both by girls who have not had children or by women who already have and want to avoid pregnancy.
One of the great advantages of the IUD is its “long life”, since it can work effectively up to 10 years, although doctors recommend having a check-up every year, especially to verify that it remains in position, and even make a change at 5.
But that recommendation was ignored by a 25-year-old English girl named Jessica Cowgill, who curiously is a nursing teacher, was a victim of a strong infection caused by the IUD she was wearing, which almost caused her death.
It turns out that one day, Jessica began to feel cramps in the wind and presented bleeding, so she went to the doctor. He did several studies and even an ultrasound, which did not show that there was any irregularity.
At first, he was only prescribed medications to control the pain, but this became unbearable, so finally, on February 11, the doctors decided to intern it to deepen his problem, finally discovering that The IUD he was wearing was embedded in his uterus, causing him a necrosis, so he had to remove a fallopian tube, an ovary and part of the uterus in order to save his life.
The problem did not stop there, because several days later, Jessica felt very bad again, so doctors discovered that the infection had affected the liver, gallbladder, stomach and spleen, so it had to be operated again and currently It is in the process of recovery.
What worries this woman most is that she has lost all possibility of having children in the future, something that doctors have denied and assured her that she does have a chance of getting pregnant.
