Can an IUD be inserted if the uterus is bicornuate?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 03/06/2024

No. One of the contraindications of the intrauterine device or IUD is uterine malformations. Therefore, it is not possible to insert an IUD in women who have a bicornuate uterus.
