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?

I’m not a doctor but I’m pretty sure a uterine IUD would literally have to perforate through the uterus to go anywhere else, and that would probably be a life threatening emergency, so I’m gonna have to call bullshit on that one.
