[Postplacental application of 5 different types of intrauterine devices]. / Aplicación postplacenta de cinco tipos diferentes de dispositivos intrauterinos.

ABSTRACT

PIP 5 different types of IUDs were used in 1020 women after placental expulsion T Cu220 in 101 cases; Lippes Loop in 407 cases; T Cu200 in 180; Progestasert in 196; and the Multiload 250 in 136. IUD insertion was accomplished by 3 different techniques manual, with Forester's forceps, and with an experimental applicator. There were more expulsions and more pregnancies when the applicator was used. Expulsion and pregnancy rates were higher with the Progestasert. The T Cu220C showed the lowest number of expulsions and pregnancies and the highest continuation rate. Removals for medical reasons were similar among all IUD types. (author's modified)^ieng
