Will my partner feel my IUD during sex?
Many people worry if their partner will feel the IUD during sex when considering it as a birth control option. We talk with Dr. Ann Jacob from Reiter, Hill & Johnson of Advantia to address and provide insight on this common concern.
Understanding IUDs and Partner Sensation
Dr. Jacob states that if a partner puts in an IUD correctly, they are unlikely to feel it during sex. One key factor in this is the length of the IUD strings.
Cutting the strings of the IUD to the right length is important. This is usually just past the cervix. It can make it harder for your partner to feel during sex.
Importance of Proper IUD Placement
A crucial aspect to ensure your partner doesn’t feel the IUD is the correct placement of the device. A trained healthcare provider should place an IUD to make sure it stays securely in the uterus. Proper placement also helps in reducing the possibility of discomfort or sensation for both you and your partner.
