Women remove their IUD themselves and show the results on TikTok. Not a healthy trend!

Don't wait - act... according to the Internet platform TikTok, more and more women are acting according to this motto. Because they don't want to wait endlessly for a doctor's appointment, they simply remove their IUD themselves. More and more videos on the topic are being posted under the hashtag #IUDREMOVAL (in German "removal of the IUD").

@mikkiegallagherthis is NOT medical advice but it only took 2 minutes 😳 #fyp #momsoftiktok #periods #iudremoval #iud #mirena #momtok #diy #birthcontrol #gonefishing

It now has 65 million views, including videos of women removing the IUD themselves. TikToker Mikkie Gallagher also decided not to go to the doctor and removed the IUD at home. The video she shot about it went viral. However, she emphasized that this was not a medical recommendation, but it only took two minutes.

If women suffer from side effects of the IUD, for example depression, but the next appointment with the doctor is a long way off, self-removal seems to be an effective remedy. However, doctors strongly warn against this.

“When it is pulled out, the thread can break or parts of the coil can tear off and remain in the uterus. The risk of infection is therefore high.”
