What complications qualify for a Paragard IUD lawsuit?
Complications linked to the Paragard IUD can be severe and life-altering. Many women have reported pain, emotional distress, fertility problems, and costly medical treatments after their device broke.
Some of the most common issues occur when the copper IUD breaks during removal. Broken or fragmented devices can lead to serious — and sometimes life-threatening — complications, including:
- Broken pieces lodged in the uterine cavity
- Uterine or pelvic infection
- Severe pain, cramping or bleeding
- Perforation of the uterine wall
- Migration of broken pieces to other organs
When a Paragard IUD breaks, patients may require extensive medical intervention, including surgery to locate and remove the remaining fragments. In some cases, women have had to undergo total hysterectomies to address the damage.
According to allegations in the ongoing Paragard IUD lawsuit, Teva Pharmaceuticals may have known that the copper IUD was prone to breakage during insertion or removal but failed to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers.
