Clinical Trial Summary

In women undergoing elective CS, half of them will have Intra-caesarian copper T 380 IUD insertion using the standard method and the remaining half will undergo copper T 380 IUD insertion during CS using a new technique in order to detect which technique is more effective in having more accurate IUD position with visible threads.


Clinical Trial Description

Intrauterine device (IUD) is considered one of the most acceptable and effective contraceptive methods used. It is widely accepted and used in Egypt at a large scale than any other type of contraception with many advantages over the other types of contraceptive methods including long acting hormonal methods . Despite IUD complications, it remains the most accepted method, as it has many advantages like being non-coital related, had no systemic complications, of long duration and reversible with rapid return of fertility after its removal . The complications of IUD include heavy menstrual bleedings, menstrual irregularities and infection complications which could be minimized by using strict aseptic techniques during insertion . The most distressing complication is the displacement of IUD, especially if this displacement was extra-uterine, as the patient needs a surgical maneuver (endoscopic usually) for extraction of this IUD. Displacement of IUDs puts a financial and psychological burden to the patient also increases the risk of unwanted pregnancies and its related risks . Displacement of IUD occurs mainly during its insertion, and occurs mainly due to rough or wrong technique; also IUD insertion at a wrong timing may increase risk of IUD displacement. So it is very important to insert IUDs at the proper time with the proper technique . Timing of insertion of IUD after cesarean section is a matter of debate, some gynecologists insert IUDs during cesarean section after placental removal, while other gynecologists prefer insertion of IUDs after an interval either immediately after puerprium (42 days), or after 6 months post-cesarean section, but the majority inserts IUDs after 3 months from cesarean section . The idea of waiting a three-month interval after cesarean section is to assure that the scar had completely healed and the uterus involutes completely to its pre-pregnancy size. The drawbacks of waiting this long interval are poor accessibility of the cervix which may be pulled upward in some cases of repeated cesarean section and loss of self-enthusiasm for rapid contraception after delivery . ;
