Primary intravesical insertion of intrauterine device for 10 years: Clinical presentation and outcome.

ABSTRACT

Intrauterine device (IUD) is considered the second most widely used method of contraception. Migration of the IUD into the urinary system has been reported. Nevertheless, a missed IUD which is mistakenly inserted into the bladder has rarely been reported. We report a female patient experienced recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) for 10 years without appropriate evaluation. The underlying problem was an IUD that inserted into the bladder led to the formation of bladder stone. The clinical course and the endoscopic management of the stone and the IUD is reviewed in this case report.
