Intravesical migration of intrauterine device: Case report and literature review

Abstract

Intrauterine devices are a commonly used method of female contraception that has become increasingly popular worldwide because they are highly effective and convenient to use. However, complications, such as migration to nearby viscera or peritoneal cavity, can occur. The bladder is an especially uncommon destination for migration. Here, we report a rare case of IUD intravesical migration in a 30-year-old female patient presenting with lower abdominal pain and menorrhagia who had an IUD placed 8 years prior.
