Spontaneously expelled IUD and missing fragments in the uterine cavity
The mechanical complications of IUD are so rare. We report a case of 36-year-old women who was spontaneously expelled IUD with missing fragments of copper IUD within the endometrial cavity. She underwent pelvic ultrasonography and Pelvic X-ray. Two missing pieces of IUD was removed using a grasping...

description | The mechanical complications of IUD are so rare. We report a case of 36-year-old women who was spontaneously expelled IUD with missing fragments of copper IUD within the endometrial cavity. She underwent pelvic ultrasonography and Pelvic X-ray. Two missing pieces of IUD was removed using a grasping forceps intrauterine under ultrasound. Despite the rarity of mechanical complications, it is important to know whether precautions can prevent or reduce the risks of IUD use for contraception. |
