Abstract :

Objective(s) : To evaluate relation of PPIUCD insertion after delivery and its effect on continuation rates/expulsion rates and to verify if USG is good choice to follow–up. Method(s) : Study comprised of 192 postpartum women. Group–A – 96 women who delivered vaginally and Group–B – 96 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. Removal rates were almost same in both the groups. Expulsion rate was higher among women where USG showed >10 mm distance between fundus of uterus and Cu–T. Continuation rate of IUCD at 12 wks was higher among Group–B. Conclusion(s) : PPIUCD is safe and effective method of contraception. USG guided follow–up of women with PPIUCD is a good choice for early diagnosis of expulsions and complication.
