Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the clinical relevance and symptom patterns associated with malpositioned intrauterine devices (IUDs).
  • Analyzed incidence of symptoms in patients with malpositioned IUDs
  • Evaluated the presence of visible strings
  • Utilized ultrasound to assess IUD position in symptomatic individuals
  • Nearly half of the patients with malpositioned IUDs were asymptomatic
  • Visible strings were often present despite malposition
  • Ultrasound was essential for evaluating IUD position when there were clinical concerns

Abstract

Nearly half of patients with malpositioned IUDs were asymptomatic, and visible strings were frequently present, highlighting the limitations of symptom assessment and string checks. Ultrasound plays a central role in evaluating IUD position when clinical concern exists.
