A WANDERING IUCD- A RARE CASE

Abstract

Extrauterine migration of IUCD is a rare entity and is often one of the reasons for refusal of IUCD insertion. Uterine perforation by IUCD is although rare but one of the serious complications. Much rarer is the migration of IUCD inside the bladder. Women with intrauterine IUCD should be educated about the follow-up. Here we have reported a similar case of 46 years old female, P4L4A1 who presented with complaints of recurrent UTI since past 1 year. She had history of post- partum IUCD insertion 10 years back and after 1 year of insertion she did not feel thread vaginally. She got herself evaluated at a local facility where X-ray abdomen was done and was referred to LHMC for misplaced IUCD. After evaluation, IUCD was localized inside the bladder cavity which was managed successfully by cystoscopy
