Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Medical Devices
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Global events and healthcare shifts have led to increased inattention to subclinical intrauterine device (IUD) complications.
  • Factors include patient migration, delayed gynecologic care (e.g., due to COVID-19), limited access, and reduced emphasis on annual examinations.

Observation:

  • A series of four cases highlights unusual IUD migration complications and their etiologic factors.
  • These complications often result from long durations of neglected IUDs due to lack of awareness or records.

Findings:

  • Neglected IUDs can lead to significant complications that might be preventable with timely medical intervention.
  • Physicians need to be aware of diverse IUD types, including older or international models, which may present differently.

Implications:

  • Routine gynecologic examinations for all IUD users are recommended to ensure timely detection and management of potential complications.
  • Enhanced patient education on IUD monitoring and record-keeping is essential for preventing severe outcomes.
