“…A study done in Ethiopia revealed that lower genital tract infections are very common among apparently healthy looking pregnant women with an overall prevalence of 40-54%. 21 This higher incidence of untreated reproductive tract infection increases the risk of pelvic infection after immediate PPIUCD insertion. Four women (8.16%) among those inserted with PPIUCD had lost strings at six weeks.…”

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALETo describe the factors associated with acceptability of immediate post-placental intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) insertion in women according to their sociodemographic and obstetrics characteristics, and to determine the rates of uterine perforation, expulsion, pelvic infection, lost strings and displacement following PPIUCD insertion among the acceptors. This study will enable to advise the policy makers o n strategies to enhance positive factors {e.g. to establish programs that are dedicated in educating parturients and promote post-partum family planning (PPFP)} and remove negative factors that influence PPIUCD use (i.e. to adopt policies that dispel the parturient misbelieves), so as to increase contraceptive prevalence and ensure an increase in the PPFP choice of methods.

“…Studies [2,7,8,12] have been done in the past to identify the misplaced IUCDs by different imaging modalities irrespective of the time and method of insertion, but there is no study in the literature, describing the correct position of the IUCDs in terms of the ultrasonographic parameters in the immediate postpartum period. This study was done to identify the malpositioned IUCDs by sonography done within 24 h of the insertion of the IUCD and explore its association with the side effects observed after 6 months of follow up.…”

“…In case of the nonvisibility of the IUCD strings, imaging modalities like ultrasonography, X-rays, MRI, and CT-scan are quiet helpful [7][8][9].…”

Purpose Incorrectly placed copper T 380A leads to increased contraception failure. This study aimed to find an association between the ultrasonographic position of the copper T 380A in the immediate postpartum period and the adverse effects observed during the period of 6 months after its insertion. Methods This descriptive study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology of a tertiary-carecenter of India from September 2011 to February 2013. The women eligible for immediate postpartum copper T 380A insertion with previous regular menstrual cycles for at least 6 months before the current pregnancy, and those who were willing for follow-up visits and had easy accessibility to the hospital, were recruited. A clinical evaluation and ultrasonographic assessment of Intra-Uterine-Contraceptive-Device (IUCD) after insertion was carried out after enrolment. The complications (expulsions, vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularity, and lower abdominal pain) were subsequently assessed during a 6-month follow-up period. The primary objective was the ultrasonographic assessment of the placement of IUCD immediately after insertion. The incidence of complications and their association with the presence of malposition was also studied. Results Hundred patients were evaluated during the study period. Forty-four (44 %) women were found to have malpositioned IUCDs on ultrasonographic evaluation done following insertion. The complications among the IUCD users included menstrual irregularity (27.17 %), pain in lower abdomen (20.65 %), vaginal discharge (7.6 %), and expulsions (9.7 %). The IUCD expulsions, menstrual irregularities, and pain were significantly more in patients with malpositions (p \ 0.05). Conclusions Malpositioning of IUCD is common immediately following insertion and is significantly associated with more complications during the follow-up.

“…Insertion during the puerperium, presence of uterine involution, strong contractions and soft consistency of the uterus may increase risk of perforation [7]. Also, placing IUCD within 6 months postpartum and women with increased number of miscarriages has an increased risk [8]. Furthermore, faulty insertion technique and irregular physician follow-up increases the risk of uterine perforation.…”

Abstract:The intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is a commonly used method of contraception for women. However, there is a rare but serious risk of migration into the myometrium and then into the peritoneal cavity. IUCD migration into bowel, bladder, omentum, abdominal wall has been reported. We report here, a rare case of an IUCD migrating through the uterus into the peritoneal cavity and subsequently invading into the sigmoid colon.
