IUDs (Intra-Uterine Devices)
Steroid reservoir loss during removal of perforated Levonorgestrel 52 mg intrauterine device
/
Read MoreA 22-year-old G1P1 Caucasian female had hysteroscopic removal of a perforated intrauterine device during which the steroid reservoir of the intrauterine device was lost. Isolated steroid reservoirs are radiolucent on plain film radiography. We located the reservoir in the peritoneal cavity with magnetic resonance imaging and removed it via laparoscopy.
Pelvic pain and early IUD discontinuation: a prospective cohort study
/
Read MoreBaseline generalized pelvic pain may not be a risk factor for IUD discontinuation within one year of placement.
The Management of a patient with a fragmented intrauterine device embedded within the cervical canal - Case Report
/
Read MoreA 28-year-old woman presented with a malpositioned intrauterine device (IUD) that was fragmented and significantly entrenched within the cervical canal and myometrium. IUD malposition with concomitant device fragmentation and embedded segments, albeit rare, should be a consideration given the device's prevalence.
Perforation risk and intra-uterine devices: results of the EURAS-IUD 5-year extension study
/
Read MoreThe overall perforation rate was 2.1 per 1000 insertions for LNG-IUS users 1.6 per 1000 insertions for copper-IUD users……. LNG-IUS users had a borderline higher risk of perforation compared with copper-IUD users.
Forty-five (58%) of the 77 perforations were associated with suspected risk factors……
Breastfeeding…… and time since delivery remained significant risk factors in perforations detected after 12 months.
No perforations resulted in serious injury to intra-abdominal or pelvic structures.
Migration of Intrauterine Devices: Radiologic Findings and Implications for Patient Care
/
Read MoreIntrauterine devices (IUDs) are a commonly used form of contraception worldwide. However, migration of the IUD from its normal position in the uterine fundus is a frequently encountered complication, varying from uterine expulsion to displacement into the endometrial canal to uterine perforation.
Some adverse effects of copper-IUD
/
Read More“Retracted and detached strings were observed somewhat more often in women wearing Cu-7-IUD's. The number of such cases was, however, not large enough to warrant a statistical comparison.”
