A randomised clinical trial to assess satisfaction with the levonorgestrel‐ releasing intrauterine system inserted at caesarean section compared to postpartum placement

Abstract: BackgroundInsertion of levonorgestrel‐releasing intrauterine system (LNG‐IUS) at caesarean section (CS) provides contraception prior to resumption of ovulation or sexual activity. Patient satisfaction with insertion at CS has not previously been studied.AimsThe aim of this study was to compare patient satisfaction with LNG‐IUS inserted at the time of lower uterine segment CS to six weeks postpartum.Materials and MethodsOpen‐label randomised controlled trial.

“…If the threads of the TCu380A are left at the incision length, then follow-up visibility is around 30%–40%. The same is true for the LNG IUD, where string visibility of 30%–60% was reported in two studies 13,15. The elongated strings require trimming at follow-up.…”
