[Tubal actinomycosis as a complication of intrauterine contraception].

A case of actinomycosis of the uterine tube occuring in a 29-year-old clerk is reported. The disease became manifest clinically a month after the introduction of IUD. In spite of intensive antiinflammatory therapy the disease was in progress and cachexia developed. The case was cured only after radical surgical intervention and antibiotic treatment.

The significance of finding curved rods in the vaginal secretions of patients attending a genito-urinary medical clinic.

Curved rods were found in 108 (21.6%) of 500 women consecutively attending a genito-urinary medical clinic. A positive association was elicited with the wearing of an intra-uterine contraceptive device (p less than 0.001), intercourse with a casual or multiple sexual partners within the preceding 3 months (p less than 0.001) and concurrent chlamydial infection of the uterine cervix (p less than 0.025). There was no apparent relationship with contact with non-candidal balanitis, but an increased rate (31.3%) was noted in contacts of non-gonococcal urethritis indicating a need for further research into a possible aetiological role.

Pelvic abscess associated with a Lippes loop. An unusual case.

An unusual case occurred of Lippes-Loop-associated pelvic abscess, characterized by a relatively mild clinical course and an unusual localization in the pelvis. This case emphasizes the importance of considering the association between intrauterine devices and pelvic abscess.

[Acute abdomen caused by an intrauterine device].

Case report about late complications caused by lying intrauterine devices (IUD). Ileus by strangulation represents a rare event when a closed IUD has perforated partially. A pelvic roentgenographic examination alone is not sufficient in order to give an estimation of the present position of the IUD. Results of hysterography and ultrasonographic examinations should be taken into account as well.

Vaginal and endocervical bacterial contamination in IUD users.

The use of intrauterine devices is clearly related to a new aspect of infective pathology: bacterial contamination of the uterine cavity and its repercussions throughout the genital apparatus. Therefore the Authors decided to carry out a study of the vaginal and endocervical flora of 61 IUD users. This study has shown that pathogenic germs are present to a significant extent (82.3%) even when no clinical symptoms can be detected. The Group B streptococcus was detected in a high number of cases (10.6%) in the vaginal (9.8%) or endocervical tampon (11.5%).

[An atraumatic instrument for the removal of the lost string intra-uterine device (author's transl)].

A less common complication of intra-uterine device contraception is the lost string. Since the intra-uterine devices are more used the problem of the search for lost string intra-uterine devices has increased. An intra-uterine device forceps with a diameter of 2.5 mm. is presented. The instrument can easily be used in office practice. Removal of the device under general anaesthesia after dilation of the cervix with a large instrument can best be avoided.

Complications associated with IUD use in a family practice setting.

This study compares the complication rate of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUD) with other contraceptive measures in a residency practice. The study population included 220 randomly selected women who had IUDs inserted by residents over a five-year period. One hundred similarly selected women started on birth control pills (BCP) were used as a control group. Of the IUD patients, 8.6 percent developed pelvic inflammatory disease vs 2 percent of the BCP patients. The incidence of gonorrhea was not significantly different between the two groups: 8.2 percent for the IUD groups vs 7 percent for the BCP group. Discontinuation of IUDs for reasons other than desiring pregnancy was significantly higher than discontinuation of BCPs: 41 percent vs 12 percent. Of the total IUD insertions, there were 21 expulsions (10 percent) and one uterine perforation (0.4 percent). Five pregnancies occurred in the IUD group, yielding a pregnancy rate of 1.7 per 100 women-years. There was a four percent rate of gynecologic hospitalizations in the IUD group as contrasted with one percent rate in BCP group. IUD use in the family practice setting under study is associated with comparatively poor long-term acceptance and a relatively high rate of complications.

[The problem of the lost intrauterine contraceptive device (author's transl)].

Report on 18 patients who were treated in hospital during the last 4 years because of a lost intrauterine contraceptive device. Carbon dioxide hysteroscopy was found to be a more advantageous diagnostic procedure in the search than radiography. In 14 cases, the intrauterine contraceptive device was grasped and removed under hysteroscopic control. In 4 cases the uterine cavity was empty on hysteroscopy. The device had perforated into the uterine muscle or into the peritoneal cavity. These 4 cases are reported in detail.
