ABSTRACT

Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) are widely used as a reversible method of contraception. Although uterine perforation caused by an IUCD is rare, in some cases, the device may migrate to the pelvic/abdominal cavity or nearby structures. When the IUCD migrate to the bladder, it can lead to various symptoms. These include pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, difficulties or pain during urination, frequent urinary tract infections, and the development of bladder stones. This article presents a case report of a 24-year-old woman with an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) that had migrated completely into the bladder. She had an IUCD inserted by a midwife four years earlier and became pregnant a year later, unaware of the IUCD's presence. She later presented with lower abdominal pain, hematuria, and dysuria three months before being admitted to our hospital. Imaging confirmed the intravesical location of the IUCD. She underwent successful cystoscopy treatment to remove the migrated IUCD. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial in preventing complications and improving patient outcomes. Clinicians should be aware of this potential complication and consider it when patients present with symptoms or complications after IUCD insertion. Regular monitoring and timely intervention can help detect and address IUCD migration effectively.

ABSTRACT

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a popular method of contraception mainly used in developing countries. Perforation is one of the most serious but a rare complication secondary to the insertion of an IUD, while perforation into the intravesical organs such as the bladder is even more rare. A 30-year-old multipara in early 30s, with two previous caesarean sections (CS) and one curettage, was found to have her IUD puncturing the bladder during a cystoscopy procedure to remove her bladder stones. Transvesical migration of an IUD is an uncommon complication with a high rate of calculi formation, which is thought to be caused by the IUD's lithogenic potential. Imaging approaches such as ultrasound and pelvic X-rays are considered imperative in the accurate diagnosis. Any migrated IUD should be removed regardless of location. Prompt and continual monitoring of women using an IUD is essential and in a case where the IUD has migrated, the removal using the endoscopic approach is a safe and effective method.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: This study was aimed at identifying the difference in collagen type-1 expression in women with and without pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out women with and without pelvic organ prolapse. This meta-analysis was conducted on research articles describing the evaluation of collagen type-1 expression between patients with and without POP. The articles were obtained from PubMed, EBSCO, and ProQuest, and were published between January 2000 and June 2021. Pooled mean difference (MD) and pooled odds ratio (OR) were calculated using fixed effect models. Review Manager (RevMan 5.4) was used to analyze the data. The main outcome measures were pooled MD and pooled OR of collagen type-1 expression in patients with and without POP. RESULTS: A total of seven case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis using the effect size of the MD and two case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis using the effect size of the OR. A total of 247 POP cases and 132 non-POP cases were identified from the studies. Our study indicated that patients with POP had a lower level of collagen type-1 expression than non-POP patients (MD = -6.77; 95% CI: -8.37, -5.17, p < 0.00001). Patients with low expression of collagen type-1 in pelvic support tissue are at a more than 3 times higher risk of suffering from pelvic organ prolapse (OR = 3.23, 95% CI: 1.52 to 6.87, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that patients with pelvic organ prolapse have lower expression of collagen type-1 than nonpelvic organ prolapse patients.
