Abstract:
A case of intravesical migration of a GyneFix intrauterine device (IUD) is described, in which the patient presented with supra-pubic pain and urinary symptoms. The diagnosis was made 34 months after the insertion of the IUD, by ultrasound scan. The GyneFix was removed endoscopically. A description of the GyneFix device, the possible adverse effects and incidences of its complications, the importance of post-insertion follow-up, and the need for awareness of the possibility of intravesical migration are discussed.
