    Fertility and Sterility
    |March 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ensure intrauterine devices (IUDs) are fully removed to prevent complications. Accurate history and ultrasound can confirm complete IUD removal, avoiding unnecessary procedures and patient distress.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are common contraceptives.
    • Concerns exist regarding retained or fragmented IUDs post-removal.

    Observation:

    • Verifying complete IUD removal is crucial for women's reproductive health.
    • Forgotten or fragmented IUDs can lead to complications.

    Findings:

    • Accurate patient history and ultrasonography are effective in detecting retained IUD fragments.
    • These methods can rule out incomplete removal before further investigations.

    Implications:

    • Prevents unnecessary invasive procedures like hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy.
    • Reduces patient suffering and healthcare costs associated with misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.
