    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are common reversible contraceptives.
    • Understanding the return to fertility after IUD discontinuation is crucial for family planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the return of fertility after removal of the non-medicated Szontágh-type IUD.
    • To assess the impact of IUD use duration on conception time.
    • To evaluate pregnancy outcomes and newborn health following IUD removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study analyzing data from 649 women, 587 pregnancies, and 502 deliveries.
    • Life table technique used for calculating cumulative conception rates.
    • Comparison with a local control group for pregnancy outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Cumulative conception rate reached 90.5% within the first year post-IUD removal.
    • Duration of IUD use did not affect time to conception.
    • No significant differences observed in abortion rates, gestation length, or delivery types compared to controls.
    • Newborns showed normal birthweight, sex ratio, and no increased malformation frequency.

    Conclusions:

    • The Szontágh IUD facilitates prompt return to fertility upon removal.
    • No adverse effects on conception, pregnancy course, or outcome were associated with this IUD.
    • Findings suggest potential applicability to other inert IUDs, warranting further research.
