Evaluation of Post Placental Copper T380 A Insertion in Women during Caesarean Section

Abstract

Objective: The study was carried out to evaluate the outcome of post placental COPPER T380 A insertion in women during caesarean section. Methods: A descriptive quasi-experimental study was carried out to evaluate the outcome of post-placental COPPER T380 A insertion in women during caesarean section. They were interviewed with a specific pre-designed questionnaire Results: The patients were asked to visit 1, 6 and 12 months after the insertion of COPPER T380 A to record the complaints during the follow-up period. It was found that only 2(1.33%) complaints of expulsion after 1 month of insertion and 1 (0.66%) after 6 months, and there was no complaint of expulsion at 12 months of follow-up. In case of PID, there were 3(2%) at 1 month, 1(0.66%) at 6 months and 1(0.66%) at 12 months follow up. The most frequent complaint was pain lower abdomen which accounted for 13 (8.67%), 12 (8.00%) and 8 (12.67%) at 1. 6 and 12 months of follow-up, respectively. The next common complaint was the vaginal discharge of 9 (6.00%) at 1 month, 8 (4.67%) at 6 months and 10 (6.67%) at 12 months of follow-up. No failure of COPPER T380 A insertion during cesarean section within 12 months of follow-up (No pregnancy within 12 months). Conclusion: Clients and providers can benefit from COPPER T380 A's high motivation, low risk of infection, and fast insertion speed when used after childbirth. The use of an intrauterine device as a form of birth control immediately after delivery has been shown to be effective and safe. Furthermore, considering the large number of puerperal who do not return for contraception, the use of a safe contraceptive method, provided quickly after delivery and before discharge from the hospital, is a far-reaching reproductive health strategy.
