Can Uterocervical Angle Predict the Displacement of Copper Intrauterine Devices (T-Cu 380A)

Turkey (Türkiye)123 participantsStarted 2021-01-01

Plain-language summary

The investigators conducted a case-control study between December 2020-June 2021 at Istanbul Health Sciences University Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital family planning outpatient clinics. One hundred and forty-three patients who had copper intrauterine devices (T Cu 380 A) inserted for contraception were evaluated between the 6th week to 5 years after insertion. Patients were divided into two groups according to their ultrasonographic examinations as "displaced" or "normal" positions. Uterocervical angles were measured of both groups by transvaginal ultrasonography and investigated whether the uterocervical angle had any effect in predicting the displacement of copper intrauterine devices.
