A Case Report of Intrauterine Device Migration: Uterine Penetration and Bladder Involvement with Secondary Stones 3 Years Post-Insertion

This case underscores the importance of regular IUD check-ups to prevent uterine perforation and the necessity of considering IUD migration in patients presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms without routine IUD examination. While self-examination by the patient through the strings in the vagina is possible, imaging studies are also indispensable. Surgery has proven to be an effective solution for such complications, but cystoscopy is not always the best option, and the decision to perform open surgery should be based on the patient's perforation and the condition of the surrounding tissues. This paper emphasizes the need for vigilance and proper clinical management.

Abstract

This case underscores the importance of regular IUD check-ups to prevent uterine perforation and the necessity of considering IUD migration in patients presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms without routine IUD examination. While self-examination by the patient through the strings in the vagina is possible, imaging studies are also indispensable. Surgery has proven to be an effective solution for such complications, but cystoscopy is not always the best option, and the decision to perform open surgery should be based on the patient's perforation and the condition of the surrounding tissues. This paper emphasizes the need for vigilance and proper clinical management.
