Effect of the timing of insertion of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) copper T380A on expulsion rates
2023
Overview
Background & objectives:
Postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) is well accepted and recommended for contraception. However, anxiety at the time of delivery may restrict the acceptance of a PPIUCD for its immediate insertion. So far there is limited evidence to conclude anything concrete on the association between the expulsion rates and the timing of insertion following a vaginal delivery. Thus, this study was undertaken to compare the expulsion rates in immediate and early insertions and their safety and complications.
Methods:
This prospective comparative study was carried out over 17 months on women delivering vaginally in a tertiary care teaching hospital in South India. A copper device (CuT380A) was inserted using Kelly's placental forceps either within 10 min of placental delivery (immediate group, n=160) or between 10 min upto 48 h postpartum (early group, n=160). Ultrasound was done before discharge from the hospital. The expulsion rates and any other complications at six-week and three-month follow up were studied. Chi-square test was used to compare the difference in expulsion rates.
Results:
The expulsion rate was five per cent in the immediate compared to 3.7 per cent in the early group (no significant difference). In ten cases, the device was found to be in the lower uterus upon ultrasound before discharge. These were repositioned. There was no case with perforation, irregular bleeding or infection up to the three-month follow up. Higher age, higher parity, lack of satisfaction and motivation to continue were predictors of expulsion.
Interpretation & conclusions:
In the present study PPIUCD was found to be safe with overall expulsion in 4.3 per cent. It was marginally, though not significantly, higher in the immediate group.
