PURPOSE: Incorrectly placed copper @entity43446 leads to increased contraception failure. This study aimed to find an association between the ultrasonographic position of the copper @entity43446 in the immediate postpartum period and the adverse effects observed during the period of 6  months after its insertion. METHODS: This descriptive study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics _ Gynaecology of a tertiary-care-center of India from September 2011 to February 2013. The @entity1 eligible for immediate postpartum copper @entity43446 insertion with previous regular menstrual cycles for at least 6  months before the current pregnancy, and those who were willing for follow-up visits and had easy accessibility to the hospital, were recruited. A clinical evaluation and ultrasonographic assessment of Intra-Uterine-Contraceptive-Device (IUCD) after insertion was carried out after enrolment. The complications (expulsions, vaginal discharge, @entity1866 , and lower @entity490 ) were subsequently assessed during a 6-month follow-up period. The primary objective was the ultrasonographic assessment of the placement of IUCD immediately after insertion. The incidence of complications and their association with the presence of malposition was also studied. RESULTS: Hundred @entity1 were evaluated during the study period. Forty-four (44  %) @entity1 were found to have malpositioned IUCDs on ultrasonographic evaluation done following insertion. The complications among the IUCD users included @entity1866 (27.17  %), @entity158 in lower abdomen (20.65  %), vaginal discharge (7.6  %), and expulsions (9.7  %). The IUCD expulsions, @entity1866 , and @entity158 were significantly more in @entity1 with malpositions (p  <  0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Malpositioning of IUCD is common immediately following insertion and is significantly associated with more complications during the follow-up.
