My IUD string feels rough and different, could certain substances damage it?
Question by Miss A.: My IUD string feels rough and different, could certain substances damage it?
When I feel for my IUD string now it feels rough, spiky and thick, not like the normal skinny smooth “fishing line” texture. Me and my partner could both feel it while having sex. I’m not sure if it somehow got tangled? or got damaged by a product i used? I can’t seem to find any info online either about damaged feeling IUD strings. HELP!
Can boric acid or hydrogen peroxide damage IUD Strings?
More info:
I have a copper IUD which was inserted about 2 years ago. Everything has been going great and I frequently check the strings. This summer I have had a bad run in with recurrent yeast infections which i treated and then turned in to recurrent bacterial vaginosis. The antibiotics and all the doctor prescribed drugs work to get rid of the infection quick, but they also kill all the good bacteria, disrupting the vagina, and the infections always come back.
I finally have got my vagina back into order by doing a program that utilized hydrogen peroxide/water douches and inserting acidophilus pills in the vagina (the ones i used also contained boric acid)

Answer by Trust me I’m a Doctor ♥
Sorry but I think you are going to have to ask your GP about this, sounds as though you need to be examined so they can see exactly what has happened to the strings, if your partner can feel them during sex then you can’t leave things as they are.
