Just heard (ok it was tiktok) two stories about birth control implants getting lost in the body. One was a Mirena Coil and one an arm implant. Both lost in the body and they couldn’t be found at the doctor’s. The nurses in the story were not too concerned and just said they’re now somewhere in the abdominal cavity. How can an object randomly travel in the body and why is it not a medical concern?

Mine poked a hole in my uterus and started making it’s way out. The strings had been left long and so they yanked it all the way out with lots of wiggling, it was extraordinarily painful. Had I not gone to the hospital that day it would have migrated all the way through and I was told it could start poking into other organs.
