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

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.

Introduction. Women who do not switch to alternate methods after contraceptive discontinuation, for reasons other than the desire to get pregnant or not needing it, are at obvious risk for unplanned pregnancies or unwanted births. This paper examines the factors that influence women to switch from Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) to other methods instead of terminating contraceptive usage altogether.Methods. The data used for this study comes from a larger cross-sectional survey conducted in nine (9) randomly selected districts of Sindh and Punjab provinces of Pakistan, during January 2011. Using Stata 11.2, we analyzed data on 333 women, who reported the removal of IUCDs due to reasons other than the desire to get pregnant.Results. We found that 39.9% of the women do not switch to another method of contraception within one month after IUCD discontinuation. Use of contraception before IUCD insertion increases the odds for method switching by 2.26 times after removal. Similarly, postremoval follow-up by community health worker doubles (OR = 2.0) the chances of method switching. Compared with women who received free IUCD service (via voucher scheme), the method switching is 2.01 times higher among women who had paid for IUCD insertion.Conclusion. To increase the likelihood of method switching among IUCD discontinuers this study emphasizes the need for postremoval client counseling, follow-up by healthcare provider, improved choices to a wider range of contraceptives for poor clients, and user satisfaction.

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.

Introduction. Integrated use of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive devices with delivery service during the immediate postpartum period is ideal for both women and health-care providers. However, utilization of intrauterine contraceptive devices during the postpartum period was rare and in Ethiopia, with information regarding uptake of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive devices limited. Objective. Identify determinants of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive devices uptake among women delivering in public hospitals of South Gondar zone, Northwest Ethiopia, 2019. Methods. An unmatched case-control study was conducted in public hospitals of South Gondar, Ethiopia, from August 1, 2019, to November 10, 2019. A total of 140 cases and 280 controls have actively participated in the study. Five hospitals were selected by simple random sampling. Cases were selected consecutively, whereas two controls for each case were recruited by the lottery method. Pretested questionnaires were used to collect data and it was entered into Epidata version 4.4.2. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify variables associated with the use of outcome and adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to determine the association between independent and outcome variables. Results. Completing secondary education (AOR = 4.5, 95%CI 2.3–8.85), having a total number of children of 3–4 (AOR = 3.6, 95%CI 1.25–10.2), having  ≥ 5 (AOR = 4.7, 95%CI 1.5–15.3), attending 3 antenatal care (AOR = 2.8, 95%CI 1.44–5.6), ever hearing about postpartum IUCD (AOR = 6.6, 95%CI 2.7–16.1), and having counseling from health-care provider about a postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (AOR = 6.2, 95%CI 2.99–12.8) were significantly associated with uptake of the postpartum intrauterine contraceptive. Conclusion and Recommendation. Completing secondary education, having 3–4 and ≥5 children, attending three antenatal care, ever hearing about postpartum IUCD, and having counseling from health-care providers about the postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device among women were significantly associated with uptake of an intrauterine contraceptive device after birth. Therefore, it is better to advise women to strictly follow their antenatal care, access to information, and provide counseling.

Background Actinomycosis is a rare suppurative disease that may mimic other inflammatory conditions on imaging. Its invasive nature may lead to mass formation and atypical presentation thus making accurate diagnosis quite difficult. Purpose To describe the different aspects of abdominopelvic actinomycosis on cross-sectional imaging and indicate discriminative findings from other inflammatory or neoplastic diseases. Material and Methods In our study we analyzed 18 patients (15 women, 3 men; age range, 25–75 years; mean age, 50 years) with pathologically proved abdominopelvic actinomycosis. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) had been performed in all patients. Eleven patients had a history of using intrauterine contraceptive devices. Bowel site, wall thickness and enhancement degree, inflammatory infiltration, and features of peritoneal or pelvic mass were evaluated at CT. Results The sigmoid colon was most commonly involved. Most patients showed concentric bowel wall-thickening, enhancing homogenously and inflammatory infiltration of pericolonic fat was mostly diffuse. In 11 patients, one or more pelvic abscesses were revealed, while a peritoneal or pelvic mass adjacent to the involved bowel segment was seen in three cases. Infiltration into the abdominal wall was seen in three cases while in one case there was thoracic dissemination. Conclusion Actinomycosis is related not only to long-term use of intrauterine contraceptive devices and should be included in the differential diagnosis when cross-sectional imaging studies show concentric bowel wall-thickening, intense contrast enhancement, regional pelvic or peritoneal masses, and extensive inflammatory fat infiltration with abscess formation.
