Session III: Providing IUDs Copper-Bearing Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) Session III: Providing IUDs Illustration credit: Salim Khalaf/FHI Copper T 380A

You May be Able to Get Your IUD Now Copper IUD IUD can be inserted in first 2 days after you give birth. Insertion after childbirth: Can insert within 48 hours after birth. Special training needed. Between 48 hours and 4 weeks after birth, delay insertion. Offer condoms or another method if she is not fully breastfeeding. Can insert after 4 weeks after birth. Must be reasonably certain she is not pregnant. You can start any day of the menstrual cycle if we can be sure you aren’t pregnant. If menstrual bleeding started in last 12 days, can insert IUD now. If menstrual bleeding started more than 12 days ago, can insert IUD now if reasonably certain she is not pregnant. No need to wait for next menstrual period. Adapted from WHO

You May be Able to Get Your IUD Now Copper IUD Copper IUD IUD can be inserted if fully or nearly fully breastfeeding less than 6 months after giving birth. An IUD can be inserted anytime from 4 weeks to 6 months after giving birth and menstruation has not returned. IUD can be inserted after an abortion or miscarriage. Can be inserted immediately or within 12 days after a first- or second-trimester abortion or miscarriage and if no infection is present. No need for a backup method. IUD insertion after second-trimester abortion or miscarriage requires specific training. If not specifically trained, delay insertion until at least 4 weeks after miscarriage or abortion. If infection, insert after infection has been treated and cured. IUD can be inserted if switching from another method. Can be inserted immediately, if she has been using the method consistently and correctly or if it is otherwise reasonably certain she is not pregnant. Adapted from WHO

Correcting Rumors and Misconceptions IUDs: Rarely lead to PID Do not increase risk of STIs, including HIV Do not work by causing abortion Do not make women infertile Do not move to the heart or brain Do not cause birth defects Do not cause pain for woman or man during sex Significantly reduce risk of ectopic pregnancy Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

What Will Happen When You Get Your IUD Steps: Pelvic examination Cleaning the vagina and cervix Placing IUD in the womb through the cervix    May hurt at insertion Please tell us if it hurts Rest as long as you like afterwards May have cramps for several days after insertion Adapted from WHO Afterwards: you can check your IUD from time to time if you want.

Explaining the IUD Insertion Procedure You may feel discomfort, like heavy menstrual cramps. The provider: Performs a pelvic examination Cleans the cervix and vagina with an antiseptic Inserts a small rod into the uterus to measure the depth of the uterus Inserts the IUD through the vagina and into the uterus using a small applicator After the insertion, you will rest.

Post-Insertion Instructions Tell client to expect cramping and spotting for a few days If client wants to check strings, teach her how: Use clean hands Check after menses If convenient for client, schedule follow-up visit for 3–6 weeks Counsel to return immediately if there are any signs of complications. Source: CCP and WHO, 2011; WHO, 2004, updated 2008.

Complications of IUDs Potential complications of IUDs include perforations, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and expulsions. Biases in early research overstated risks of PID. Most research since the 1980s has concluded that serious complications are rare with modern IUDs.

Complications of IUDs, continued Risk Linked to Reduced through/by Perforation Very low, 1 in 1,000 insertions Skill and experience of provider Supervised training PID Between 1 and 2 in 600 (depending on STI prevalence) Mostly due to presence of cervical infections at time of insertion Screening women for risk of STIs; not inserting in women with current STIs; adherence to infection prevention procedures Expulsion Provider’s skill; age and parity of woman; time since insertion; timing of insertion

Signs of Possible IUD Complications Advise client to return immediately in case of: Bleeding and severe abdominal cramping within a few days post-insertion perforation Irregular bleeding or pain every cycle partial expulsion, perforation Fever, unusual vaginal discharge, low abdominal pain infection Missing IUD strings, missed period expulsion, pregnancy Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

Explain Removal Procedure to Client IUD removal is quick and usually quite painless. The provider: Inserts a speculum to see the cervix and IUD strings. Cleans the cervix and vagina with an antiseptic. Asks the woman to take slow, deep breaths, and tell the provider if she feels pain during the procedure. Using forceps, pulls the IUD strings slowly and gently until the IUD is completely out of uterus. Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

Counseling and reassurance are key Managing IUD Side Effects or Complications: Heavy, Prolonged or Irregular Bleeding Counseling and reassurance are key Problem Action/Management Heavy or prolonged bleeding Reassure client that this is common and not harmful, usually diminishes after few months For short-term relief offer 5-day course of tranexamic acid or NSAIDs (not aspirin) Provide iron tablets Irregular bleeding Reassure client For short-term relief offer ibuprofen or indomethacin 2 times daily after meals for 5 days Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

Managing IUD Side Effects or Complications: Cramping and Mild Pain Counseling and reassurance are key Problem Action/Management Cramping and mild pain She can expect cramping and pain in first 1–2 days after insertion Reassure client that this is common in first 3–6 months, not harmful, usually decreases over time Suggest ibuprofen, other pain reliever (not aspirin if she also has heavy bleeding) If cramping continues, occurs outside of menstruation, evaluate, treat or refer If cramping is severe but no underlying condition, discuss removing the IUD Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

Rule out PID, ectopic pregnancy or perforation. Managing IUD Side Effects or Complications: Severe Pain in Lower Abdomen (Rare) Rule out PID, ectopic pregnancy or perforation. If PID is suspected, treat with appropriate antibiotics for gonorrhea, chlamydia and anaerobic bacterial infection. There is no need to remove the IUD. If ectopic pregnancy is suspected, refer immediately. Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

Managing IUD Side Effects or Complications: Suspected Perforation Stop procedure immediately, remove IUD Observe vital signs for an hour; check for signs of bleeding If rapid pulse, falling blood pressure, or increased pain: refer Provide alternative contraception Advise avoid sex for 2 weeks Follow-up in a week or as needed Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

Managing IUD Side Effects or Complications: Missing Strings Determine risk of pregnancy Perform pelvic exam, probe for strings in cervical canal If cannot locate strings, consider X-ray or ultrasound, or refer Give choice of another contraceptive method Insert another IUD if expulsion is confirmed and Woman is not pregnant She still wants to use an IUD Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

Managing IUD Side Effects or Complications: Suspected Pregnancy Assess for pregnancy, including ectopic pregnancy If the client is pregnant and wishes to continue the pregnancy: Explain that using an IUD during pregnancy increases the risk of preterm delivery or miscarriage If possible, remove the IUD If not possible to remove, advise close follow-up for signs of septic miscarriage Source: CCP and WHO, 2011.

Copper IUDs: Summary Copper IUDs are: Safe, highly effective, convenient, reversible, long lasting, cost-effective, easy to use, and appropriate for the majority of women. Providers can ensure safety by: Informative counseling Careful screening Appropriate infection prevention practices Proper follow-up
