Changes in Intrauterine Device Position From Initial Insertion to Check Up

This study evaluates the migration or change in position of intrauterine contraception devices after initial insertion in an Australian population, and the clinical usefulness of a post-procedure check using ultrasound. The current Australian guidelines are not explicitly clear whether an ultrasound is required in post-procedure check-ups. This study demonstrates that an ultrasound is not a necessary component of post-procedure check-ups, as the vast majority of IUDs will migrate into an appropriate position over a two-month period following insertion.

Abstract

This study evaluates the migration or change in position of intrauterine contraception devices after initial insertion in an Australian population, and the clinical usefulness of a post-procedure check using ultrasound. The current Australian guidelines are not explicitly clear whether an ultrasound is required in post-procedure check-ups. This study demonstrates that an ultrasound is not a necessary component of post-procedure check-ups, as the vast majority of IUDs will migrate into an appropriate position over a two-month period following insertion.
