Hi I have a question about paragard, Wilson disease and gilberts syndrome. I have that I UD and have also been diagnosed with gilberts syndrome, but have been having pain in back and pins and needles down my leg, right now its only in my foot. Had MRI and ex rays that showed nothing wrong with my back. Could it be Wilson s disease or the copper in the IUD effecting me.
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. Copper containing IUD's are known to exacerbate Wilson's disease or existing Chronic Liver Disease. But, there is no convincing evidence that they cause Wilson's disease. As you have Gilbert Syn Chat Doctor.  But, that would not precipitate Wilson's disease too. But, it would be better to switch to some newer IUD's if you have any form of Gilbert syn
