Abstract
IUD is the world’s most widely used method of reversible birth control. Higher discontinuation rates are documented in developing countries like India. This retrospective study was conducted in the Post-Partum unit of King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam over a period of three years from January 2012 to December 2014 to determine the socio-demographic characteristics, side effects/complications, duration of use and reasons for discontinuation of the intra uterine contraceptive device (IUD).
