Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices

Intrauterine contraceptive devices are a widely used method of contraception. It is cheap, easy and an effective method. The first intrauterine device was Lippe’s loop which was double S shaped trapezoid loop introduced in 1962. Nowadays, third generation intrauterine devices are used which are effective for 5 and as well as 10 years. Here we presented a rare case of first generation of intrauterine device, that was, Lippe’s loop in a 65 year old lady which was found as an incidental finding. Intrauterine device insertion without the knowledge of women can lead to the forgotten device which can adversely affect the health of women.

ABSTRACT Early intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) like Lippes Loop were intended for long-term use until menopause and hence often retained for years, and many patients present well into menopause still bearing a Lippes Loop either deliberately or forgotten. We present a case of a 65-year-old postmenopausal female patient presented with complaints of spotting per vagina since 20 days, associated with white discharge per vagina. Ultrasound abdomen showed calcified endometrium with IUCD in the cervical canal. Hysteroscopy was done. As IUCD could be visualized but could not be removed, hence hysterectomy was done.

The study examined the reproductive and health profile of Benghazi women using intrauterine contraceptive devices [IUDs]and evaluated one such device, the TCu-380 A. An historical longitudinal study was carried out using data from the Fertility Regulation Clinic, Keish Polyclinic, Benghazi. The subjects were 457 women registered for TCu-380 A insertion between 1995 and 1998, who had been under follow-up for at least 6 months. The majority were Libyan [87.8%], aged 20-29 years [63.4%], of parity 1-6 [67.1%], non-lactating [64.3%]and with normal delivery at last conception [95.1%]. Half had a chronic disease. The cumulative 36-month follow-up of those using TCu-380 A revealed an effectiveness rate of 99.8%, a continuation rate of 96.1% and complications in 3.5%. TCu-380 A appears to be an effective, durable and safe IUD.

Background and Aim: Postpartum intrauterine device (PPIUD) is a reversible, long-term and effective technique of contraception. The intrauterine device (IUD) is inserted within 48 hours of delivery. The immediate insertion of an intrauterine device causes certain complications. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of complications after Interval Postpartum Intrauterine Device Insertion. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 147 women who underwent postpartum IUD (PPIUD) insertions during from January 2021 to June 2021 at Gynecology department, Mufti Mehmood Memorial Teaching Hospital (MMMTH), Dera Ismail Khan and Muhammad Teaching Hospital Peshawar. All the women who delivered and showed willingness for PPIUCD insertion were enrolled and continuously follow-up for 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. Demographic, obstetric, and clinical parameters were recorded on pre-designed medical proforma. PPIUCD insertion after 6 weeks of delivery were followed-up for the evaluation of complications. Uterine infection, medical removal of IUD, IUD expulsion, perforation, and method discontinuation were the outcome variables. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total deliveries, 147 women inserted the postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD). Of the total, about 122 (83%) women returned for follow-up after 6 weeks. All the women underwent transvaginal insertion of intrauterine contraceptive devices. The PPIUCD insertion related complications with prevalence were uterine infection 26 (21.3%), overall method suspension 17 (13.9%), perforation 20 (16.4%), interceptive uterine device expulsions 25 (20.5%), and intrauterine device removal 32 (26.2%). The severe uterine infection was in 2 (1.7%) cases who were hospitalized. Conclusion: The postpartum intrauterine device cumulative expulsion rate was higher among women compared to the expulsion rate of insertions. The longer duration of bloody lochia flow and delivery intrauterine device insertions were the key risk factors for expulsion of PPIUCD. Women can safely utilize intrauterine contraceptive devices with low complications beyond four week. Keywords: Postpartum intrauterine device; Complications; Intrauterine device expulsion

Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices

Although intrauterine devices (IUDs) are not as effective as the best oral contraceptives, many women prefer them, and they may be a first choice for women for whom the pill is contra-indicated. During the six years since we last discussed IUDs,1 both their design and the methods of analysis of IUD clinical trial results have improved considerably. Devices produced since 1966 differ from previous ones in composition and shape and in the method of insertion into the uterus. The ‘M’ device,2 the Dalkon Shield3 and the Gravigard4 have all resulted from interdisciplinary collaboration involving bioengineers. Two centres in the United States5 6 are assessing bioengineering aspects of the interaction between IUDs and the uterine musculature.
