“…The copper IUD and the LNG-IUS are more cost-effective than the combined oral contraceptive pill and injectable contraceptives (NICE 2005). When a prospective user with normal menstrual cycles opts for intrauterine contraception, high-load banded copper devices, rather than the LNG-IUS, may be preferred, as they are equally effective, last longer and provide highly cost-effective contraception (Dennis and Hampton 2002;Bhathena and Guillebaud 2006). The LNG-IUS is ideal for women with menorrhagia or dysmenorrhoea.…”

“…The 7-year cumulative gross pregnancy rate with the Copper T 380 is 51.5 per 100 women 67,80,81 . The banded Copper T 380 devices in the UK -the T-Safe 1 Cu 380A (Family Planning Sales Ltd, Oxford, UK) and its clones (TT 380 Slimline 1 ) (Durbin plc) are generally considered the first-choice options for a parous woman [79][80][81] . Both these devices are licensed for 10 years, although they remain effective up to 12 years 79,80 .…”

“…Both these devices are licensed for 10 years, although they remain effective up to 12 years 79,80 . The wired devices, the Nova-T 1 380 (Schering Health Care Ltd) and the Multiload 1 Cu375 (Organon Laboratories Ltd), licensed for 5 years, are relatively less effective than the Copper T 380 80,81 . The differences in the effectiveness of the various devices may perhaps be less obvious in women over 40 years with declining fertility.…”

Although fertility declines with advancing age as the woman approaches the menopause, some risk of pregnancy persists, and effective contraception needs to be offered to avoid an unintended pregnancy. An older woman may have menstrual dysfunction or climacteric symptoms and these factors would need consideration when making the choice of contraception. Low-estrogen dose combined oral contraceptives may be prescribed to healthy non-smoking women up to about 50 years of age. The progestogen-only pill may be an appropriate option in an older woman with declining fertility. The copper intrauterine device is an optimal method for parous women free of pre-existing menstrual problems. The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system is considered the contraceptive method of choice for perimenopausal women with menstrual dysfunction. The woman should be provided with individualized advice so that she has a choice between the newer, effective, largely safe, reversible methods and sterilization.

“…It is estimated that 100 million women worldwide are using IUD and it constitutes the most prevalent form of contraception method in India, after female sterilization. 1 Over the years multiple types of intrauterine devices (IUDs) were introduced and currently, most commonly used IUDs include TCu380A and levonorgesterol (Mirena) IUD.…”

Background: To present experience with clinical presentation, diagnosis and minimally invasive removal of migrated intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD). Methods: A total of 6 patients were included in retrospective study. Diagnosis was based on clinical presentation, TVS and Abdominopelvic X- ray. Minimally invasive approach was utilized to remove migrated IUD. Results: The mean (range) age of the patient was 36.6 (26-55) years. The mean (range) of parity was 3.5 (2-6). The mean (range) duration of IUD use was 8.1 (3-25) years. Five patients had TCu380A IUD. One patient had Lippes loop type of IUD. Three patients underwent laparoscopy, two had hysteroscopy and one had cystoscopy, for removal of IUD. The mean (range) operative time was 40.8 (18-76) mins. No anesthesia or surgery related complications were observed intraoperatively. The mean (range) duration of hospital stay was 34 (24-48) hours. The postoperative course was uneventful and all the patients were followed for 3-6 months period of time with no complaints. Conclusion: Removal of migrated IUDs is recommended in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients using minimally invasive approach. [Int J Reprod Contracept Obstet Gynecol 2013; 2(2.000): 147-151
