    Post-puerperal insertion of Copper T (CuT) intrauterine devices is effective for contraception. However, a high expulsion rate of 16.4% was observed, requiring further attention in maternal and child health programs.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Contraception
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • The postpartum period presents a critical window for initiating contraception.
    • Copper T (CuT) intrauterine devices are a common contraceptive choice.
    • Assessing the safety and efficacy of postpartum CuT insertion is vital for maternal health programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Copper T (CuT) intrauterine device insertion in the post-puerperal period.
    • To determine the complication rates and expulsion rates associated with postpartum CuT insertion.

    Main Methods:

    • A study was conducted on 168 women who received a CuT intrauterine device postpartum.
    • Follow-up assessments were performed at 6 weeks and 6 months post-insertion for a subset of participants.

  • Data on heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, uterine perforation, and expulsion were collected and analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • The incidence of heavy bleeding and abdominal pain was comparable to interval CuT insertions.
    • No cases of uterine perforation with device migration were reported.
    • A significant expulsion rate of 16.4% was observed in the postpartum period.

    Conclusions:

    • Copper T (CuT) intrauterine devices are a viable and useful contraceptive option for the post-puerperal period.
    • The high expulsion rate necessitates further investigation and potential interventions.
    • Increased emphasis on postpartum CuT insertion within Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs is recommended.
