Translocated Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Forming Stone in Urinary Bladder: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
IUD, the most commonly used method of contraception by women worldwide , can very rarely migrate to urinary bladder, occasionally leading to stone formation around it. However, because of its nonspecific manifestations and a very low index of suspicion, the early diagnosis of this entity is difficult. We present a case of 25 year old female who presented with complaints of lower abdominal discomfort and urinary tract symptoms. On investigation, NCCT-KUB showed a bladder stone. She underwent cystolithotomy and a T shaped bladder stone was removed from the bladder. Adequate counseling of the patient should always be done before insertion of IUD. Also a high index of suspicion should be kept in mind while dealing with patients who present with lower abdominal discomfort and missing IUD string on vaginal examination, for early removal of IUD.
