Can I have a gynae ultrasound if I have an intrauterine device (IUD or coil)?

Yes. You can safely have a gynae ultrasound if you have an intrauterine device (IUD or coil) in place. The scan will not affect the coil or its position. In fact, ultrasound is often used to check that an IUD is correctly fitted.
