Thread: iud is cutting partners penis

I myself am married with a child, but my husband and i don't use birth control. We want to have more. But my best friend, who has a child to, has an IUD. She is allergic to most kinds of birth controls and says the IUD was what they recommended at the doctor. Now I've heard that no matter what your parter should not be able to feel it. But somehow every time they have sex, her IUD strings are cutting the tip of his penis. I am looking all over the internet to see how this is possible. I am hoping to find some advice on how to fix this. I suggested getting the strings cut shorter, but the doctors have told her that the strings are like horse hair and shouldn't cut him. But obviously they are. Is there something wrong with the position of the IUD. Can the strings be cut shorter?? I am not very expeirenced with these types of things and I don't know what to tell her. If someone has ever expeirenced these type of situations please write back.
