20-year-old IUD "swallowed" by uterine fibroids

20-year-old IUD covered by uterine fibroids

That is the case of patient Quang TL (60 years old in Dong Anh, Hanoi ). The patient went to the Voluntary Gynecology Examination Department, Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital for examination and requested to remove the intrauterine device.

Through medical history examination, it was found that the patient had an intrauterine device (IUD) for 20 years and had gone to the district hospital to have the IUD removed but failed.

Dr. Tran Thi Ngoc Linh - Voluntary Gynecology Department said: After the examination, we assessed that the intrauterine device in the customer's uterus was still in the correct position. Removing the IUD using the usual method was not effective because it seemed impossible to reach the intrauterine device even though it was clearly observed on ultrasound. After that, we flexibly changed different methods and it was special: We removed a uterine fibroid and the long-standing intrauterine device was completely encased in that fibroid. The patient's uterus was preserved intact.

Regular gynecological examination for better health protection

IUD placement is the optimal method for couples who have not wanted to have children for a long time or middle-aged couples who do not want to have children and practice family planning. The effectiveness of IUD placement is considered high, up to 97% and maintained for a long time, on average from 5 to 10 years. If there is a need to have children, women can completely remove the IUD without affecting reproductive function.

Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital recommends: During the IUD placement process, women should have regular gynecological check-ups to detect abnormalities and remove the IUD at the scheduled appointment.
