Highlights
Migration of a contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) rarely occurs.
Computed tomography is the preferred radiological examination.
Waiting for the complete migration of IUD is beneficial for its easy removal.
Periodical evaluation may prevent complications in patients with contraceptive IUD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
