Early intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) like Lippes Loop were intended for long-term use until menopause and hence often retained for years, and many patients present well into menopause still bearing a Lippes Loop either deliberately or forgotten. We present a case of a 65-year-old postmenopausal female patient presented with complaints of spotting per vagina since 20 days, associated with white discharge per vagina. Ultrasound abdomen showed calcified endometrium with IUCD in the cervical canal. Hysteroscopy was done. As IUCD could be visualized but could not be removed, hence hysterectomy was done.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
