Migration of Intrauterine Device Into the Bladder: A Case Report

Complications associated with intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), particularly those involving migration into the bladder, are infrequent occurrences yet clinically significant. The clinical presentation of patients with IUD displacement into the bladder is frequently vague and non-specific, posing a challenge for timely and accurate diagnosis. This report details the case of a patient who presented with an IUD malpositioned into the bladder, initially manifesting solely as urinary frequency. Subsequent evaluations confirmed partial displacement of the IUD into the bladder. This case underscores the paramount importance of maintaining a heightened level of suspicion in patients exhibiting suggestive symptoms, advocating for prompt and precise diagnosis even in the absence of overt or severe manifestations. Furthermore, it shares the management strategies and treatment approaches employed for such patients, aiming to offer guidance and serve as a reference for clinicians encountering cases of partial IUD displacement into the bladder.

Abstract

Complications associated with intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), particularly those involving migration into the bladder, are infrequent occurrences yet clinically significant. The clinical presentation of patients with IUD displacement into the bladder is frequently vague and non-specific, posing a challenge for timely and accurate diagnosis. This report details the case of a patient who presented with an IUD malpositioned into the bladder, initially manifesting solely as urinary frequency. Subsequent evaluations confirmed partial displacement of the IUD into the bladder. This case underscores the paramount importance of maintaining a heightened level of suspicion in patients exhibiting suggestive symptoms, advocating for prompt and precise diagnosis even in the absence of overt or severe manifestations. Furthermore, it shares the management strategies and treatment approaches employed for such patients, aiming to offer guidance and serve as a reference for clinicians encountering cases of partial IUD displacement into the bladder.
