Abstract
- Intrauterine Devices (IUD) have many advantages over other methods of contraception. At the same time, some complications may also occur. Missing string of IUD is a common problem and an IUD in uterus is easily removed by hysteroscopy. However, embedment of IUD in myometrium may pose challenges. Perforation of uterus by IUD is another serious complication. Hereby three such enlightening cases are presented.
