Background: The most effective methods for birth control are the long-acting reversible contraceptives LARCs include Paragard IUD in silver, Mirena IUD in hormonal (progesterone) and hormonal contraceptive implant. The intrauterine levonorgestrel-releasing system (LNG-IUS) and the intrauterine copper unit (Cu-IUD) influenced changing of menstruation and uterine artery Doppler indices Aim of the work: Comparison of the effects of copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) and an intrauterine levonorgestrel releasing system (LNG-IUS) on changing of menstruation and Doppler indices of uterine arteries. Methods: This was RCT was completed between February 2017 to January 2020 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, Tanta University hospitals. There were two group first group A :LNG-IUS (N=200) and second group B CuIUD (N=200), they were randomly assigned to 400 multiparous women preferring intrauterine contraception., the UA pulsatility index (PI) and the resistant index (RI) were determined at the beginning, and the associations with irregular bleeding were evaluated three and six months after insertion. Results: In group A: LNG-IUS, some women registered irregular bleeding (28 percent) than in the Cu-IUD group (52 percent) at the beginning of the study (P<0.001). There was bleeding irregularity (73 percent) in the group (A): LNG-IUS and severe menstrual bleeding (68 percent) in the Cu-IUD group. The uterine artery PI was associated with bleeding irregularity at value of 1.40, with a curve area (AUC) of 0.91, 90 percent sensitivity, and 100 percent specificity. Uterine artery RI was associated with 0.65 with 0.22 AUC bleeding irregularity, 95 percent sensitivity and accuracy 100 percent. Conclusion: LNG - IUS related irregular bleeding was linked to changes in the blood flow of uterine arteries that were not evident among Cu - IUD users.

Preeclampsia and Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) remains as the important causes for the neonatal and maternal complications leading to even death in some cases. Uterine artery Doppler USG can be done transvaginally or trans abdominal and performed in the 1st or 2nd trimester of the pregnancy to detect these complications Doppler waveform suggested the high vascular resistance to blood flow. In our present study, we conclude uterine artery Doppler indices as prognostic procedure for the preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. A cross-sectional survey design with convenient sampling technique was used. Mixture of standardized and self-modified structured questionnaire was undertaken to determine the indices of pre eclampsia and IUGR by uterine artery. The data was collected from Bahria International Hospital, Lahore during the period of 9 months. This study was included 162 pregnant females with identification of the main uterine artery on a longitudinal scan lateral to the uterus.  Initial diastolic notch of right and left side of the uterine artery waveforms was recorded. At every antenatal checkup, urine was tested for protein and blood pressure readings were taken to identify preeclampsia. Further analysis was done dividing patients as normotensive and those patients developing hypertension after 30 weeks of gestation. After delivery neonates observed for IUGR by head circumference and body weight. The study was concluded that from the total sample size of 162 pregnant females who undergoes uterine artery Doppler, 34% females shows diastolic notch and almost all of these later diagnosed with preeclampsia and 19.8% deliver babies with IUGR. So, based on the study, we have concluded that uterine artery Doppler is helpful to provide diagnosis of preeclampsia and IUGR in early pregnancy.

Background: Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is associated with adverse perinatal outcome. Multi vessel colour Doppler studies are useful in these cases for timely intervention. The aim of present study was to know the significance of umbilical, middle cerebral and uterine artery Doppler in PIH and to analyse their role in predicting perinatal outcome.Methods: This is a study of 150 pregnant women with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). These patients were evaluated with colour Doppler and were followed subsequently for any adverse perinatal outcome.Results: Out of 150 cases 70% of cases were found in 20-30 years age group. 98 cases had abnormal uterine artery Doppler indices accounting for 65.3%, while 52 cases had a normal Doppler index accounting for 34.3%. Out of 150 cases, 94 (64.6%) cases had abnormal middle cerebral artery. In our study 53 cases had abnormal umbilical artery Doppler indices accounting for 35.4%, while 97 cases had a normal Doppler index accounting for 64.6%. Out of 150 cases in our study 27 cases had Reversal of a wave in ductus venosus waveform that is in 18%. In this study total 5 cases (35.7%) of perinatal mortality were seen.Conclusions: The knowledge of various doppler parameters may help to improve pregnancy outcome and identification of PIH at earliest gestation age as compared to other antepartum test modalities.
