Long-acting reversible contraceptive choices are becoming more popular among young women, and providers may need to keep in mind those methods that are likely to be most successful.  The dimensions of the uterine cavity vary according to the parity of a user, with the nulliparous woman having a smaller uterine space.  With the known intrauterine contraceptive device side effects being possible, and with smaller such devices being clinically available for patients, selection of those smaller devices for contraceptive use may be more ideal for those younger nulliparous women.  In this way, complications with this method may possibly be avoided.

The trends in the acceptability of contraceptives is globally shifting from permanent sterilisation to long acting reversible contraceptive (LARC). With the increasing use of IUCD, the knowledge of its common and rare complications has become pertinent. One of them is cervical perforation in which strings are mostly visible and hence it can be easily missed. Here we present a rare case of cervical perforation which was timely detected before it could have caused more damage. A patient complaining of IUCD associated pain should undergo thorough examination and a probability of perforation should be kept in differential diagnosis despite string visibility. A clinician has to be more vigilant about this rare complication to prevent damage to cervix and avoid unwanted pregnancy.

Background: Providing quality contraceptive services to women is essential for achieving maternal and child health. Objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intra-caesarean insertion of copper IUCDs as postpartum contraception. To study the side effects of intra caesarean copper device. To study the continuation rates of intra-caesarean copper IUCDs. To study the acceptability of intra-caesarean copper IUCD as immediate postpartum contraceptive.Methods: The prospective study was undertaken at Bhaskar medical college and general hospital, Yenkepally, Moinabad, Telangana, between January 2016 and March 2018 after ethical committee clearance. About 60 pregnant women were enrolled into the study after an informed written consent regarding the procedure, benefits and complications and the need for follow up for at least one year. Copper T 380A/multiload copper 375 was inserted into the uterine cavity after delivery of the placenta and membranes during caesarean section. Patients were followed up at 6 weeks, 6 months and one-year intervals for any complaints, visibility of threads and for ultrasound examination for position of copper IUCDs in the uterus. Data analysis was done using Microsoft excel 2016.Results: Nearly 48.33% continued intra-caesarean copper IUCDs for more than 1 year. 70% did not have any complaints. 86.67% came for more than one follow-up visit. 47% had copper IUD threads visible by one year. No case of perforation either during insertion or during continuation was noted. None conceived with copper IUCD in situ. Removal of copper IUCD was also easy and none required hysteroscopic removal.Conclusions: Intra-caesarean copper IUCD insertion is a safe and effective long acting reversible contraceptive method in the postpartum period.

AbstractAdolescents are at risk for unwanted pregnancy when they become sexually active, and contraception is an important part of mitigating this risk. Use of contraceptive methods, and long-acting reversible contraceptive methods such as implants and intrauterine devices in particular, has increased among adolescents. Although sexual activity has declined and contraceptive use has increased among adolescents in the United States in recent years, the unintended pregnancy rate remains high. All of the currently available contraceptive methods are safe and effective for adolescents to use; however, adolescents may have specific concerns about side effect profiles and unscheduled bleeding that should be addressed during contraceptive counseling. Healthcare providers should prioritize adolescents' needs and preferences when approaching contraceptive counseling, and also consider the unique access and confidentiality issues that adolescents face when accessing contraception.
