Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The expiry date of the I.U.D. is mentioned on the pack of the IUD. For copper T it usually is 3 years, if it is crossed, there may be infection, or the coil may become in effective.
You can get it removed at the time of the period, and after few days you can have a new one.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods for good health and resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
