Background: The objective of this study was to study the acceptance rate, safety, demographic profile and complication of post placental intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD).Methods: Study was prospective, interventional study, held in department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at authors tertiary care centre.  Number of participants was 280. Counselling about family planning was done in antenatal OPD and indoor ward. Total duration of study was 18 months. Selection of participants done based on selection criteria. Participants who accepted postplacental   intrauterine contraceptive device as method of contraception followed up to 6 weeks postnatal for complication related to PPIUCD.Results: Authors noted that acceptance rate of PPIUCD was 13.6% and main reason for acceptance was its long acting reversible nature and main reason for denial was ‘do not want contraception immediately’. In present study there was statistically significant association between parity and birth order. However, literacy, urban locality and employment had positive influence over acceptance.  If good technique of insertion will be used than expulsion rate will also reduce as seen in present study i.e. expulsion rate only 2.6 %.Conclusions: Post placental intrauterine contraceptive device is one of the best long acting reversible contraceptive methods. It does not affect breast milk production. Woman does not need extra visit to clinic for contraception and she is ensured that she has adequate contraception before getting discharge from hospital. PPIUCD provide adequate birth spacing between two children which reduces maternal and child morbidity.

Background: IUCD (intrauterine contraceptive device) to prevent pregnancy are among the oldest method of contraception. The modern IUCD are highly effective, safe private, long acting and rapidly reversible contraceptive method. Aims and objective of this study was to study the acceptability and safety of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) in postpartum period and to assess the feasibility, safety, efficacy and expulsion rate of IUCD.Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at tertiary care teaching hospital in Maharashtra from January 2018 to October 2018 and patients were followed up to a period of one-year post IUCD insertion.Results: Majority of patients in this study were in age group 21 to 26 years of age (58.7%) and the least number were in the age group more than 30 years (3.3%). This study showed that majority of patients were primigravida (44%) and the lowest number belonged to gravida 6 (0.3%). Regarding timing of IUCD insertion 73% were done intra caesarean, 22.3% were done post placental and 4.7% were done within 48 hours of delivery. In this study authors found that 4% of patients had per vaginal discharge, 5% had missing IUCD thread and 2% of patients had IUCD expulsion. It was found in this study that 98% of patients continued to use IUCD and only 2% discontinued the usage.Conclusions: From the study authors came to conclusion that PPIUCD insertion is a safe, feasible, effective and reversible method of contraception.

Objective: To compare the acceptability of insertion of post placental intra uterine contraceptive device, withrespect to gravidity between vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections. Study Design: Prospective comparative study. Place and Duration of Study: Frontier Corp Hospital, Quetta, from Jan 2019 to Jan 2020. Methodology: A total of 399 females with age of 18 to 45 years with gravidity (primi, multi and grand multigravida) were counselled during antenatal visits about benefits and risks of post placental intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) insertion. For complications, females were assessed at 1 and 6 weeks after delivery. Results: A total of 399 females with mean age 27.95 ± 5.07 years were included in study. About 235 (55.9%)women delivered vaginally and 164 (41.4%) women by caesarean section. Acceptance rate was 3.8% and 4.3% for vaginal and caesarean deliveries respectively. Eleven (73.3%) women were grand multi gravida and 4 women(26.6%) were multi gravid in vaginal delivery acceptance group versus 8 women (47%) grand multi and 9 women (52.9%) multi gravida in caesarean acceptance group. Five (15%) females presented with complications (3 with abdominal pain and 1 each with infection and expulsion). Conclusion: The overall acceptance rate of PPIUCD was low in this study, the acceptance rate was higher inwomen undergoing normal vaginal delivery (NVD) as compared to lower segment caesarean section (LSCS),similarly more of the grand multiparas accepted the method as compared to other participants however thedifferences were not statistically significant.

Objective: The post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) is a highly effective, long acting, reversible, economical and easily accessible family planning method. The aim of the study was to estimate the proportion of pregnant women aware of immediate post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device and to analyze the factors associated with acceptance. Methodology: This is a cross sectional study in which 300 pregnant were selected who were visiting the antenatal clinics and admitted in early labor in labor ward. Their awareness and acceptance for PPIUCD was assessed through a structured questionnaire. Factors associated with acceptance were analyzed and the reasons for acceptance or refusal were determined. Results: In this study the awareness of PPIUCD was found to be 46% and the acceptance rate of PPIUCD was 18%. The major reason for refusal was that women don’t think they need contraception immediately after delivery and secondly, they need to talk to their partners for the decision. Most common reasons for acceptance of PPIUCD was that it is long acting and reversible. Gravidity (p= 0.006), parity (p< 0.001), unplanned pregnancy (p= 0.002) and inter pregnancy interval (p= 0.004) were the factors significantly influencing the acceptance of PPIUCD. Conclusion: This study revealed that awareness regarding PPIUCD is increasing in women but acceptance is still poor. It was due to misconception that no contraception is needed in postpartum period. Provision of adequate knowledge regarding convenience and effectiveness of post-partum contraception in preventing unintended pregnancies can play vital role to increase its acceptance.

INTRODUCTION Contraception is one of the proximate determinants of fertility and the most important predictor of fertility transition. Contraceptive use helps couples and individuals realize their basic right to decide freely and responsibly if, when and how many children to have. The growing use of contraceptive methods has resulted in not only improvements in health-related outcomes such as reduced maternal mortality and infant mortality, but also improvements in schooling and economic outcomes, especially for girls and women. AIMS & OBJECTIVES Find out the proportion of accepting the Post-Partum Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (PPIUCD) insertion among eligible women delivering at SSKM hospital. The complications of post placental &intra caesarean PPIUCD if any among these acceptors. Determine the spontaneous expulsion rate of this contraceptive device. MATERIALS AND METHODS Descriptive study with a longitudinal design. The present study was a hospital based study conducted at the department of Gynecology and Obstetrics department of the Institute of Post graduate Medical Education and Research (IPGMER) and SSKM. The study was conducted for a period of 18 months between April 2017 To September 2018. All 243 pregnant eligible women who delivered either by normal vaginal or instrumental delivery or caesarean section during the data collection period. RESULTS The above table shows that most of the participants enrolled in the study were in the age group of 21 - 25 years (39.9%), had completed secondary education (32.0%) and were housewives (74.2%), of urban residence (63.5%). About half of the participants were Muslim (49.4%), 47.2% were Hindus while 3.4% were Christians. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS It can be concluded that PPIUCD is a promising new approach. Cu T 380A inserted in the post-partum period is both convenient and safe. The advantage of single visit insertion can be utilised to expand the usage of IUCD to meet the unmet needs of contraception.

Background: Postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device is inserted within 10 minutes to 48 hours of expulsion of placenta. The objective of the study was to determine acceptability, safety and complications of PPIUCD in tertiary care center.Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at Zenana Hospital, SMS Medical College, Jaipur over a period of 1 year from April 2018 to March 2019. Women were followed after 6 weeks and their complaints and various parameters were analyzed.Results: 5653 women were inserted PPIUCD during 1 year period. Acceptance rate was 29.26% and higher in multipara (54.30%) and between 18 to 25 years of age (50.29%). The main complaints at follow-up were pain and bleeding which were dealt mainly by reassurance. Main cause of removal was bleeding, pain and family pressure.Conclusions: The acceptance was high in this study group. PPIUCD is safe, effective and acceptable with negligible side effects. PPIUCD has abundant scope in India where accessibility for contraception is lower during interval period and women do not come for follow-up after delivery.

Background: Postpartum intrauterine device provides an effective temporary method of contraception for the woman who needs birth spacing rather than birth limitation and also a quasi-permanent family planning method. The aim of this study was to study the efficacy, acceptance, safety and complication of PPIUCD insertion.Method: This a retrospective analytical study done in a tertiary care teaching institute, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Egmore for a six-year period from January 2010 to December 2015 with a sample size of 81204. Outcomes measured were safety, efficacy, acceptance (patients and professionals) and complications.Results: For the study period of six years the total number of women delivered were 81204. A steady increase was noted in the insertion of PPIUCD from 2010 (1.98%) to 2015 (58%). 50.5% had insertion following caesarean section and 49.5% following vaginal delivery. Primipara had a higher rate of acceptance amounting to 74.74%. Most common complication reported was missing strings 9.25% and a greater part of the patients (83%) did not have any complaints.Conclusions: Enthusiasm and conviction on the part of the health care provider goes a long way in improving the acceptance rate of PPIUCD. It is an indispensable contraceptive tool for our country since our women most often do not return for postnatal contraceptive options.
