Thank you for your question.
Dr is correct. You need to see your gynaecologist for a check up. Several aspects need checking including presence of the device, ruling out pregnancy and detecting and treating infection. It is unsafe to self medicate. Using betadine wash is unnecessary and can result in more problems. Please see your gynaecologist sooner rather than later.
