The primary objective of this study was to assess the novel fixation method of a frameless copper-releasing intrauterine device inserted following placental delivery during cesarean section and analyze its impact in reducing device displacement and expulsion during and after uterine involution. We hypothesized that the dual-anchoring technique could reduce the risk of intrauterine device displacement and expulsion during and after the uterine involution. The study was conducted at the Gazi University Medicine Faculty Hospital in Ankara, Turkey. Twenty-one pregnant women were enrolled. Insertion was performed following placental removal. To confirm the proper placement and good retention of the device, the distance between the fundal serosa (S) and device anchor knot (A) was measured (S–A) during follow-ups, by ultrasound. There were significant differences in the S–A, as observed by ultrasound at discharge and at 6 weeks post-delivery, which is consistent with the tissue contractions associated with uterine involution. Notwithstanding the uterine involution, no device displacements or expulsions occurred, which indicated a good retention of the frameless device. This innovative retention method of the frameless intrauterine device ensures a well-tolerated, long-term contraception, allowing for immediate contraception and proper pregnancy spacing for cesarean scar healing, and overcomes the issue of expulsion encountered with conventional intrauterine systems.

The aim of the study is to show that long standing forgotten intrauterine device contributes to infertility, reporting three cases presented at Central Hospital Warri, Nigeria, a government tertiary health center. Three cases of forgotten intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) contributing to infertility were seen. Two were inserted for contraceptive reasons while one was inserted while being managed for uterine synechae. Health care providers should ensure proper documentation of all procedures carried out, adequate counseling which should include taking an informed consent and also ensuring both short and long term follow up of their clients. Also all patients being evaluated for infertility and clients with past history of intrauterine device must have a speculum examination and ultrasound scan carried out.

Background: In view of high rate of unintended pregnancy in our country, particularly in post-partum women, there is a need for reliable, effective, long-term contraception such as intrauterine device (IUD) in post-partum women. The present study was planned to evaluate the safety and efficacy of immediate post-partum IUD insertion in women delivering vaginally or by caesarean section.Methods: The women recruited had CuT 380A insertion immediately after delivery of placenta in vaginal or caesarean delivery. Women having post-partum haemorrhage (PPH), anaemia, pre-labour rupture of membranes >18 h, obstructed labour and distorted uterine cavity by fibroid or by congenital malformation were excluded from the study. The women were followed up at 6 weeks after delivery.Results: A total of 500 women were included in the study. The present study shows that expulsion rate was more in postplacental insertion group i.e. 13.2% while among intracaesarean group it was 6.8% and this difference was statistically significant. Removal rate of PPIUCD (Post-partum Intrauterine Contraceptive device) was higher in postplacental insertion i.e.43 (17.2%) cases whereas in intracaesarean insertion removal rate was 8.4%. Most common cause of removal of PPIUCD in our study was pelvic pain and menstrual disturbances.Conclusions: Thus, from our study it is concluded that PPIUCD is safe, convenient, cost effective, reversible and long-term birth spacing method. It should be part of a maternal/newborn/reproductive health package.

The ParaGard Copper T 380A intrauterine device (CuT380A) provides reversible contraception that is as effective as sterilization for up to 20 years. The CuT380A is a mainstream, first-line contraceptive option for most healthy women, including nulligravid women, as well as many women who have serious medical problems. Because it is the most cost-effective method of birth control, the CuT380A is the preferred IUD, except for women who desire lighter or no menstrual blood loss. Surveys reveal that 95% of US CuT380A users are “very” or “somewhat” satisfied with their method. This article describes current candidates for IUD use, discusses the mechanisms of action of the CuT380A, provides guidance to reduce barriers to IUD access, suggests counseling points for patients, and outlines techniques to reduce the risks and side effects that can be associated with use of the CuT380A.

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.

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

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.

Intrauterine device (IUD) is a long term, highly effective, and reversible contraception method. In Indonesia, the number of IUD acceptors is still lower than other methods. An effort to improve the long term contraception is using post-placental IUD that can be a choice for postpartum mother who has limited access to another contraception service. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of expulsion in post-placental IUD insertion between mother with vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery. This study design was a comparative cross-sectional method with a consecutive sampling technique conducted at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung and Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang from November 2017 to February 2018. Subjects were postpartum mothers who received post-placental IUD insertion at vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery. Samples were 96 women, consisting of 48 women with IUD insertion in vaginal delivery and 48 women with IUD insertion in cesarean delivery. Data obtained from interviews and transvaginal ultrasonography examination. The result showed there was a difference in expulsions incidence between IUD’s insertion among vaginal delivery compared to cesarean delivery (p=0.041). It concluded that expulsion’s to post-placental IUD insertion is higher in vaginal delivery compared to cesarean delivery. PERBEDAAN KEJADIAN EKSPULSI PADA PEMASANGAN ALAT KONTRASEPSI DALAM RAHIM PASCAPLASENTA ANTARA IBU DENGAN PERSALINAN PER VAGINAM DAN PERSALINAN SECTIO CAESAREAAlat kontrasepsi dalam rahim (AKDR) merupakan kontrasepsi jangka panjang, efektif dan reversibel. Di Indonesia, jumlah akseptor AKDR masih lebih rendah daripada metode lainnya. Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan penggunaan kontrasepsi jangka panjang, yaitu dengan AKDR pascaplasenta yang dapat menjadi alternatif bagi ibu pascasalin yang mempunyai akses terbatas untuk mendapatkan pelayanan kontrasepsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan kejadian ekspulsi pada pemasangan AKDR pascaplasenta antara ibu dengan persalinan per vaginam dan persalinan sectio caesarea. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional komparatif dengan teknik pengambilan sampel consecutive yang dilaksanakan di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung dan RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang dari bulan November 2017 hingga Februari 2018. Subjek penelitian adalah ibu pascasalin yang mendapatkan insersi AKDR pascaplasenta pada persalinan per vaginam dan persalinan sesar. Jumlah sampel 96 ibu, terdiri atas 48 ibu yang bersalin per vaginam dan 48 ibu yang bersalin sesar. Data didapatkan melalui wawancara dan pemeriksaan ultrasonografi transvaginal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan kejadian ekspulsi pada pemasangan AKDR antara ibu dengan persalinan per vaginam dan persalinan sectio caesarea (p=0,041). Simpulan, kejadian ekspulsi pada pemasangan AKDR pascaplasenta lebih tinggi pada ibu dengan persalinan per vaginam dibanding dengan persalinan sectio caesarea.

The intrauterine contraceptive device is the second most popular form of contraception worldwide. Uterine perforations may rarely complicate intrauterine contraceptive device use and are believed to occur mostly at the time of insertion. In the majority of cases, perforations are not recognized by the operator and remain asymptomatic. In rare instances however, severe delayed complications involving adjacent organs may ensue. We report an unusual case of uterine perforation with bowel injury diagnosed two years after the insertion of a copper intrauterine contraceptive device. We aim to address the use of transvaginal sonography to confirm proper intrauterine contraceptive device placement following a technically challenging insertion, clinical surveillance, and prompt removal of an intraperitoneal intrauterine contraceptive deviceto prevent potential serious complications, such as bowel embedment. Keywords: Bleeding; Bowel injury; Contraception; Intrauterine contraceptive device; Uterine perforations. Abbreviations IUD: intrauterine contraceptive device; G2P2: Gravidity 2 Parity 2
