Clinical performance of intrauterine device TCu-380 A in Benghazi, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.

The study examined the reproductive and health profile of Benghazi women using intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) and evaluated one such device, the TCu-380 A. An historical longitudinal study was carried out using data from the Fertility Regulation Clinic, Keish Polyclinic, Benghazi. The subjects were 457 women registered for TCu-380 A insertion between 1995 and 1998, who had been under follow-up for at least 6 months. The majority were Libyan (87.8%), aged 20-29 years (63.4%), of parity 1-6 (67.1%), non-lactating (64.3%) and with normal delivery at last conception (95.1%). Half had a chronic disease. The cumulative 36-month follow-up of those using TCu-380 A revealed an effectiveness rate of 99.8%, a continuation rate of 96.1% and complications in 3.5%. TCu-380 A appears to be an effective, durable and safe IUD.

Accidental insertion of multiple IUDs.

Data are presented for 7 women, each having two IUDs in utero. Five of these patients developed symptoms of abnormal bleeding and/or pelvic pain and 2 were asymptomatic. Three women had received the second IUD because it was assumed the first one had been expelled when the filaments were no longer palpable or visible. Other causes, as well as the prevention, diagnosis, and potential danger of this complication, are discussed.

[An analysis of the factors influencing the use of IUD].

An introduction of the method of the theory of quantification II is given, and it is applied to evaluation of the factors influencing the use of IUD. From the epidemiological data obtained in Jilin City, eight more important factors were screened. These factors are age of first parturition, age of first menses, condition of putting the IUD in, number of early stage induced abortion, number of gestation, labour posture, labour intensity and number of parturition. By comparing the results of analysis between the theory of the quantification and the Bayes discrimination analysis, it is shown that the former method is more objective and therefore the results are more reliable.

[Pearl index of the new Sof-T spiral in relation to ultrasound follow-up].

463 patients (109 nulliparae, 354 uni- and multiparae) were fitted with a new intrauterine device (IUD), Sof-T, and observed during 6,624 cycles. Two independent centres participated in the study. The T of Sof-T is made of flexible polyethylene, the two occlusion bodies, of medically approved silastic. If the Sof-T is correctly placed, they lie in the uterine horns. A copper wire of a total surface of 360 mm2 is winded around the vertical branch. The echogenicity of the occlusion bodies facilitates their visualization by ultrasound, thus improving the safety of the new Sof-T. The softness and the adaptability of these occlusion bodies to the cavity of the uterus decreased trauma, and thus hemorrhage and pain, compared to 16 other studies on IUDs. The small number of salpingitis recorded in our study of the Sof-T may be attributed to the fact that the pathogens transported and transmitted by sperm could probably not penetrate into the uterine tubes because they were stopped by the occlusion bodies.

Management of the lost IUD.

Records of twenty-six patients who presented at the University College Hospital, Ibadan with 'lost' IUDs between 1 July 1980 and 30 April 1982 were analysed. During the 22-month study period there were 3476 IUD insertions. Routine evaluation showed that eighteen IUDs (69.2%) were intrauterine whilst eight IUDs (30.8%) were extrauterine. Seventeen (65.4%) intrauterine devices were recovered by routine D and C. Of the eight extrauterine devices, six (23.1%) were removed by laparoscopy, one (3.8%) was removed by laparotomy and one (3.8%) was removed by colpotomy. It is concluded that it is preferable for all extrauterine devices to be removed in order to discourage psychosomatic symptomatology commonly associated with forgotten devices.
