Two Natural Births with Unremoved Iuds Causing Bladder Stone Formation Due to IUD Migration: A Rare Case
Abstract:Background: Intrauterine Device (IUD) Multiload 375 is a method of contraception widely used worldwide. One of the rare complications is that the IUD punctures the uterus and moves into the bladder. Common manifestations are recurrent urinary tract infections and bladder stones. A long-term and neglected IUD increases the risk of uterine perforation and migration to other organs.
Diagnosis: Clinical history, Cystoscopy, Transvaginal Ultrasound (US) or Computed Tomography helps confirm the diagnosis.
