According to information from Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, the hospital's doctors have just welcomed a healthy baby girl weighing 3.2 kg. What is special is that the baby was born with an IUD that the mother had placed 2 years ago.
Although the pregnancy was not planned, Ms. V.T.T.H. (35 years old, Vinh Phuc) had a safe pregnancy and a successful birth under the close supervision of doctors at Hanoi Obstetrics Hospital.
The IUD is placed outside the amniotic sac and does not affect the development of the fetus. The surgery was performed directly by Dr. Tran Ngoc Dinh - Head of the hospital's volunteer department D5.
According to doctors, the IUD is a popular method of birth control, but it is not absolute. There are many factors that can reduce the effectiveness of the IUD, such as the IUD moving, being damaged, or the woman's health problems.
Each method of contraception has its own advantages and disadvantages. To choose the optimal method of contraception that best suits your health condition, women should go to a specialized hospital for advice from a doctor.
For IUDs, after placement, women need to return for check-ups after 1 week and 1 month to re-determine the placement of the IUD. If the IUD is left out of date or misplaced, there will be dangers, complications or pelvic infections.
Statistics show that the rate of having children after having an IUD inserted is about 2-8/10,000 cases in the world. However, not all cases lead to a safe pregnancy outcome, some cases can leave complications.
