IUD goes into the bladder

Nam Dinh: A 40-year-old female patient had abdominal pain and painful urination. The doctor discovered an IUD in her bladder, which is considered very rare.

The patient said that she had an IUD inserted 7 years ago, but later discovered that the IUD was not in her abdomen. At the 108 Military Central Hospital, a CT scan of her abdomen and a cystoscopy showed that the foreign object was a T-shaped IUD with stones in it, inside her bladder.

"Foreign objects in the bladder are very rare, and cases of IUDs moving into the bladder are even rarer," Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Duc, Head of the Department of Urology, said on July 3.

After consultation, the doctors used laser energy to break up the stones stuck around the IUD and remove the foreign object. After 3 days, the patient was stable, the symptoms of pain, hematuria, and painful urination had disappeared.

Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Duc said that the urethra and bladder are hollow organs, when there is a foreign object accidentally or intentionally placed in, the cause may be a medical incident or the patient himself placed the foreign object. Long-term bladder foreign objects will cause surrounding stones, urinary tract infections and can lead to more serious diseases such as abscess formation or sepsis.
