Dr. Neha Goyal

Abstract :

 Objective(s) : To evaluate usefulness of USG in early diagnosis of PPIUCD expulsion and related complications in women with PPIUCD. Method(s) : The study comprised of 96 postpartum women in whom PPIUCD insertion done. These were divided into two groups. Group–A – 48 women who delivered vaginally and Group–B – 48 women who underwent caesarean section. Both groups were followed up clinically and ultrasonographically at 48 hours, 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Result(s) : Expulsion rate was higher in group–A than group–B. There is a significant higher expulsion rate when distance between fundus of uterus and Cu–T was >10 mm. Continuation rate of IUCD was higher among group–B. Conclusion(s) : Immediate postpartum insertion of intrauterine device appear to be safe and effective method of contraception. USG guided follow–up of women with PPIUCD is good choice for early diagnosis of expulsions and complication.
