Immediate Post-placental Insertion of IUCD During Cesarean Delivery Versus 6 Week Post-Cesarean Insertion

January 25, 2018 updated by: ALshaimaa Aboalhassan Ali

: Immediate Post-placental Insertion of the Intrauterine Contraceptive Device During Cesarean Delivery Versus 6 Week Post-Cesarean Insertion

The aim of current study is to compare the rates of IUCD expulsion and complications in immediate post-placental insertion versus delayed IUCD insertion (6-weeks after cesarean delivery)

Detailed Description

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are among the most effective forms of contraception, offering greater than 99% efficacy per year of use and are completely reversible .

Post-placental intrauterine device (IUD) insertion is a safe, convenient, and effective option for postpartum contraception. "Post-placental" refers to insertion within 10-15 minutes of placental delivery, after vaginal or cesarean delivery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Expulsion
Time Frame: 3 months
The time until expulsion of the IUD will be defined as the time from insertion until expulsion occurred, if known. If the date of expulsion is not known, this will be documented as the day after the IUD was last known to be in place. If a pregnancy is detected and the IUD is absent (and the participant was unaware of expulsion), the expulsion will be assumed to have occurred at the time of conception, as determined by gestational age on ultrasound. Expulsions will be measured as total expulsions and separately noted whether complete or partial
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Displacement
Time Frame: 3 months
The displacement is diagnosed by doing trans-vaginal ultrasound that showed IUCD that displaced up or down word
3 months
Infection
Time Frame: 3 months
The diagnosis of PID will be made based on the 2006 CDC guidelines and the criteria used in the PEACH study.
3 months
Bleeding
Time Frame: 3 months
Irregular bleeding (including spotting, light bleeding, heavy or longer menstrual period) are common in the first 3 months and may persist.
3 months
Perforation
Time Frame: 3 months
The diagnosis of a perforation may be made by a transvaginal sonogram that shows no IUD within the uterus and an abdominal radiograph that show IUD within the abdominal cavity.
