The lost intrauterine levonorgestrel-releasing system in women with adenomyosis: A case report

Abstract

The intrauterine device (IUD) is one type of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) method available. The objective of this article was to report the case of a symptomatic partial expulsion of IUD. A 41-year-old woman presented herself to Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital with the chief complaint of pelvic pain. She had been using intrauterine levonorgestrel-releasing system for the last 4 years as her adenomyosis treatment. On ultrasound examination, there was no IUD visualized. A pelvic x-ray imaging with Copper-T IUD as a marker was done and suspected IUD displacement. The IUD was then removed successfully.
