Retained IUCD Treatment

What Is a Retained IUCD?

A retained IUCD refers to a situation where the IUCD:

1. Cannot be removed easily through routine methods
2. Has moved from its original position
3. Has become embedded in the uterine wall
4. Has broken or migrated partially

This condition requires expert evaluation and specialized removal techniques.

Causes of Retained IUCD

A retained IUCD may occur due to:

1. Forgotten devices
2. The device moves through the uterus (womb) into the bladder (causing stones, infections, or fistulas)
3. Long duration of IUCD use with no follow-up
4. Improper placement at the time of insertion
5. IUCD strings are not visible or broken
6. Uterine contractions pulling IUCD upward
7. Scar tissue formation inside the uterus
8. Previous uterine surgery or infection

Regular follow-up helps reduce the risk of IUCD-related complications.

Symptoms of Retained IUCD | Signs to Watch Out for Them

Some women may not experience symptoms initially, while others may have the following:

1. Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
2. Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding
3. Pain during intercourse
4. Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
5. Difficulty conceiving
6. Missing IUCD strings

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a Gynecologist in Jaipur promptly.

Diagnosis of Retained IUCD

At Cocoon Hospital, diagnosis is done using safe and accurate methods:

1. Detailed assessment of the history of IUD insertion
2. Pelvic examination
3. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) to locate the IUCD position
4. Computed tomography (CT) scan or MRI to determine its exact location and identify involvement of nearby organs (e.g., bowel, bladder).
5. X-ray (if IUCD is not visible on ultrasound)
6. Hysteroscopy for direct visualization

Note: Hysteroscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosing and treating retained IUCDs.
