A STUDY ON OUTCOME OF POSTPLACENTAL INSERTION OF INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE IN COASTAL ANDHRA PRADESH
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
BACKGROUND In view of high rate of teenage marriages, unintended pregnancies and low rate of birth spacing in this region, there is a need for reliable, effective, long-term contraception such as Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) in postpartum women. The present study was planned to evaluate the safety and efficacy of postplacental IUCD insertion in women delivering vaginally or by caesarean section in a tertiary care centre facility in East Godavari District of Coastal Andhra Pradesh. MATERIALS AND METHODS The women recruited had Cu-T 380A insertion immediately after delivery of placenta in vaginal or caesarean delivery. The women were followed up at 6 weeks and 6 months after delivery. RESULTS A total of 123 women were included in the study. 93.4% women reported for 1st follow up at 6 weeks and 73% women reported for 2nd follow up at the end of 6 months. The cumulative expulsion rate at the end of 6 months was 8.67%. Cases required removals of Cu-T in view of menorrhagia were 4%. There were no cases of misplaced IUCD, PID, perforation of uterus, pain abdomen. However, 4% of women got IUCD removed due to domestic reasons. CONCLUSION Although, the expulsion rate for immediate postpartum insertion was higher than for interval insertion, the benefits of providing highly-effective contraception immediately after delivery outweigh this disadvantage particularly in a rural area where women have limited access to medical care.
