Re: IUD made of silicone

[Guest guest]

. . .

I think it would depend on why your implants caused a

problem. . . If it was bacterial or staph, a silicone

IUD shouldn't create a problem . .. However, if you've

developed a sensitivity to silicone, there may be a

problem.

We posted some information about getting tested for

silicone hypersensitivty . . . Maybe a test would show

if you would tolerate silicone.

Regardless, if you get a silicone IUD, change it on a

regular basis because silicone does degrade with age.

Dear ,

I am glad to hear you are free of your implants!

Forgive me if I've forgotten, or you never shared with us your health

situation....did your implants affect your health in a greatly

negative way?

My suggestion, if you indeed had alot of trouble with your health

after getting implants, is to forego the silicone of any kind in your

body. You could have an inflammatory reaction to the silicone

locally, which sounds to me like it would be very, very uncomfortable

in that location.

Help me out here....is an IUD surgically implanted? Or can you place

it yourself?

If it is surgically placed, I would definitely forego this option.

If there is something you can use which is removeable that is made out

of silicone, that would probably be a better option. That way if you

do react to the silicone, you can take care of it immediately without

having to undergo any procedures.

I chose not to have my tubes tied when we did our birth control

permanently and YES, I am concerned even about that because I've heard

they use some sort of silicone clamp to tie off the fallopian tubes.

I just won't take any chances with silicone in my body. I am quite

certain that I will react, given my history with metals and implants.

Hope that helps!

My implants did not make me that sick, I had some really weird brain fog and was having alot of trouble finishing a sentence. My hair was falling out but that was actually due to the trauma of the surgery. Everybodys body reacts different to stressful situations and surgery can put alot of stress on the body, not to mention the anesthesia. So when the trauma hits the body about 3-4 months later you can start to lose a lot of hair it has been almost one year 4/13/05 since I had them put in and I had them removed on 11/10/05. and my hair has stablized somewhat and is starting to grow back in. The IUD is put in right in the Dr's office, just minor cramps, not really painful and not surgical, they just go though the cervix. and it can be easily removed by the Dr. at anytime. So what do you do for permanent birth control when your husband won't get fixed Thanks, I was registered under sukeekitty

previously and I have not been on the sight in awhile and I had trouble accessing my account so I reregistered.glory2glory1401 <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: Dear ,I am glad to hear you are free of your implants!Forgive me if I've forgotten, or you never shared with us your health situation....did your implants affect your health in a greatly negative way?My suggestion, if you indeed had alot of trouble with your health after getting implants, is to forego the silicone of any kind in your body.
