1 Junior Resident, 2 MD, DGO 1,2 Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) Medical College & Hospital, Sangli Corresponding Author Dr Sanjivani Ashok Deshpande, MD, DGO Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) Medical College & Hospital, Sangli, India Abstract Introduction: Copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) are the most commonly used type of IUD. This study is aimed at assessing the safety, efficacy and continuation rates of postpartum Cu T380A in women delivering at our center. Methodology: A longitudinal study of participants recruited from the antenatal clinic willing for postpartum insertion of Cu T380A was done. Participants were counselled about Cu T380A during the antenatal period. Baseline demographic information, medical and menstrual history and adverse effects were noted. Expulsions and continuation rates were assessed. Results: During the study period 89 women were willing for IUCD insertion and regular follow up. Most common age group was 26 to 30 years and 73% were primipara. 53% of all participants had an immediate postpartum insertion of IUCD. Insertion of IUCD was easy in 87% of the cases and two thirds had a pain perception of 0 to 5 on the VAS. During the follow up period pf one year a total of 12 expulsions were observed. Additionally, five cases had their IUCD removed. So the total continuation rate in our patient population was 81%. Unplanned pregnancy was reported in one cases (1.1%). Five cases reported abnormal vaginal bleeding, three reported pain in abdomen and two cases reported the thread to be missing. No cases of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) were reported in our patient population during the study period. Conclusions: The benefits of Cu T380A should become better recognized with time. As part of routine antenatal services, counselling for post-partum family planning should be done for all women.
