    Summary

    Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are popular contraceptives, but complications like lost strings or uterine perforation can occur. Prompt diagnosis and removal are crucial to prevent serious health issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Gynecology
    • Contraception

    Background:

    • Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are increasingly used for contraception.
    • Complications associated with IUDs, including lost strings and uterine perforation, are rising.
    • Lost strings can lead to unnoticed expulsion, reducing contraceptive efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review common complications of intrauterine devices.
    • To discuss diagnostic methods for locating displaced or perforated IUDs.
    • To outline IUD removal strategies based on device location and patient factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical literature on IUD complications.
    • Discussion of diagnostic imaging techniques: X-ray, hysterography, ultrasound, hysteroscopy.
    • Analysis of IUD removal approaches.

    Main Results:

    • Common complications include lost strings, unnoticed expulsion, and uterine perforation.
    • Diagnostic tools effectively determine IUD location.
    • Ectopic IUDs require removal to prevent sepsis and adhesions.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective diagnosis and management of IUD complications are essential.
    • IUD removal techniques should be tailored to the specific clinical scenario.
    • Patient safety and contraceptive effectiveness are paramount.
