Sometimes it can also be caused by the IUD being too large or moved to the lower part of the uterus. Mild cases do not require treatment and will generally adapt gradually; severe cases can try indomethacin or other anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment; if symptoms persist, a suitable type of ring can be replaced; if B-ultrasound confirms that the contraceptive device has moved downward, the position of the ring can also be corrected.
