Abstract :

 Background: The IUD is a small, flexible apparatus that offers safe, effective and long term contraception. The objective of this study is to compare removal rates, expulsion rates & continuation rates of Copper 375 (Multiload) and Copper T 380 A in interval & post MTP cases. Method: 100 women were enrolled in study. Out of these,50 women were randomly selected for Copper 375 insertion & 50 women for Copper T 380 A insertion in interval and post MTP cases. These subjects were observed for removal rates, expulsion rates and continuation rates at 1& 6 months,. Results: Removal rates and expulsion rates of Copper T 380 A were higher than Copper 375.Continuation rates of Copper 375(Multiload) were significantly higher than Copper T 380 A(p value<0.05). Conclusion: Our study concludes that Copper 375 (Multiload) has better patient compliance as compared to Copper T 380 A due to less removal rate, expulsion rate & continuation rates.
