©FFPRHC J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2007: 33(1) Introduction Translocation of an intrauterine device (IUD) is a widely reported and recognised complication of insertion. We describe an interesting location within a sterile anterior peritoneal abscess, presenting in an asymptomatic woman with an unplanned pregnancy, 1 year after its insertion. This case highlights the importance of checking t...

Introduction: Intrauterine devices (IUD) are safe long-term contraceptive methods frequently used. Though it is a rare event, the uterine perforation and migration of an IUD possible. Case description: This study based on single patient who has been using Levonorgestrel (LNG)-IUD for last two years without previous complications. A control ultrasound in October/2019 reported normally placed LNG...

BACKGROUND Studies of Primary Health Care (PHC) reveal considerable practice variations in terms of the range of services provided. In Norway, general practitioners (GPs) are traditionally expected to perform IUD-insertions and several surgical procedures as a part of comprehensive PHC. We aimed to investigate variation in the provision of surgical procedures and IUD-insertions across GPs and o...

BACKGROUND In Pakistan, the uptake rate for the intrauterine device (IUD) is very low at 2.5%. The most popular modern contraceptive methods in Pakistan are female sterilization and use of condoms. The Marie Stopes Society established its mobile outreach service delivery program with the aim of increasing use of modern quality contraceptive services, including the long-term reversible IUD, by w...

During this cohort study, the copper-intrauterine device (IUD) did not modify subendometrial microvascularization. However, subendometrial blood flow increased in patients who experienced IUD-induced side effects.

No studies show that IUDs destroy developing embryos at rates higher than those found in women who are not using contraceptives. Studies of early pregnancy factors have not shown statistically significant differences in transient levels of hCG between IUD and control groups, a sign of early abortion. The small, careful study by Segal et al. (1985) found no transient rise of hCG in the IUD group...

OBJECTIVE To estimate whether 6-month use of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) would be higher when insertion occurred within 10 minutes of placental delivery compared with 6-8 weeks postpartum. METHODS We enrolled pregnant women planning vaginal deliveries and desiring a postpartum levonorgestrel-releasing IUD. Patients were randomly assigned when admitted in labor to po...

background: the levonorgestrel-releasing iud can help the treatment of dysmenorrhea by reducing the synthesis of endometrial prostaglandins as a conventional treatment. objective: this study was performed to assess the frequency of dysmenorrhea, satisfaction and quality of life in women using mirena iuds as compared to those using copper iuds. materials and methods: this double-blind randomized...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Spontaneous expulsions are rare, but can occur in the first months of usage, especially when the IUD is inserted shortly after childbirth. Uterine perforation is an extremely rare complication with a rate of 0.4/1000 insertions [1]. Perforation can occur during the insertion of IUD so it is recommended to be performed by an experienced gynaecologist...
