No, the removal of an intrauterine device (IUD) does not cause twins. Twins are typically the result of a fertilized egg splitting into two embryos (identical twins) or two eggs being fertilized by separate sperm (fraternal twins). The presence or removal of an IUD does not impact the likelihood of conceiving twins.
The sensation of IUD removal is a lot like that for IUD insertion, but much briefer. Instead of inserting both the sound (measurer) and insertor for the insertion, there's a single cramp as the IUD is removed.
