    Question

    Once the doctors put the IUD can you still have sex? What are the damages that can happen to the IUD?

    Answer

    Yes, you can have sex with an IUD and there should be no damage to the IUD from the sex. It is way up in your uterus and only a little bit sticks out of your cervix into your vagina.
