Use Sonography in Patients With Intrauterine Device Presenting With Bleeding

Overview

Intrauterine contraceptive device is one of the most efficient and reversible methods of birth control with low cost and long duration of use However, in the first year after insertion, between 5 and 15% of women will have their Intrauterine contraceptive device removed because of irregular uterine bleeding which have been attributed to the effect of contact between the device and the endometrium and even the pressure on the uterine muscle . The disharmonious relationship between the Intrauterine contraceptive device and the uterus is the cause of most of the bleeding complaints, so bleeding is related to improper position rather than the contraceptive method itself which should be excluded before abandoning the Intrauterine contraceptive device for any other method of birth control
