Objective: This study aimed to explore the risk factors for intrauterine device (IUD) embedment in postmenopausal women.
Methods: A total of 731 women who underwent hysteroscopy for IUD removal from January 2019 to December 2021 were included in the trial, of whom 301 were diagnosed with IUD embedment (embedded group) and 430 had a normal IUD location (control group). The following data were collected from electronic medical records: demographic traits, ultrasound findings, IUD shapes, uterine features, and hysteroscopy findings. Bivariate contingency analysis and multiple logistic regression were performed to identify the significant independent variables that affect IUD embedment.
Results: Prior IUD removal failure (14.3% vs 5.1%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.29; 95% CI, 1.90-5.71) and V-shaped IUD (18.9% vs 10.7%; aOR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.33-3.16) were risk factors that were independently linked with IUD embedment. Uterine volume (22.7 [20.9-24.5] cm 3 vs 27.9 [24.8-30.9] cm 3 ; aOR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.982-0.999) was negatively linked with IUD embedment. There were no differences in age, parity, menopause length, years with an IUD in situ, uterine position, or abortion times between the two groups. There were no differences in existing leiomyoma, prior cervical LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure), or myomectomy between the two groups.
Conclusions: Prior IUD removal failure, V-shaped IUD, and a smaller uterine volume were risk factors for IUD embedment in menopausal women.

Background: An intrauterine device (IUD) is a widely used long-term contraceptive device for family planning. However, the IUD can lead to various complications. Severe complications and remedial measures caused by IUDs have been reported in the literature; however, detailed surgical approaches for safely removing the IUD within the minimum surgical range have rarely been described especially in postmenopausal women.

Article Synopsis
- A 54-year-old postmenopausal woman requested the removal of her IUD, which had been in place for over twenty years.
- The IUD was embedded and required a hysteroscopic examination and removal, which also revealed additional uterine content.
- For postmenopausal women with IUDs, early removal is advised to prevent complications, and hysteroscopic procedures are recommended for dealing with embedded devices.

Article Synopsis
- * Regular evaluations are essential because many patients don't show symptoms, which can lead to serious health issues if complications arise.
- * Advanced imaging techniques like 3D ultrasound and CT scans can help detect IUD malposition and guide surgical procedures, as demonstrated by a case involving a woman with an asymptomatic uterine perforation into her bladder six years after IUD insertion.

The intrauterine device (IUD) is currently one of the most widely used methods due to its great effectiveness. Uterine perforation and migration of the device is one of its most serious complications, although rare. In most patients, it usually occurs at the time of placement and goes unnoticed; however, it can also occur late.

The migration or translocation of an intrauterine device (IUD) in the urinary tract is a rare event. Here, we present the case of a 55-year-old woman who accidentally discovered the ectopic presence of an IUD following a radiological examination for pelvic pain caused by a lumbar discopathy. Over the years, the patient had several IUDs inserted without being able to specify which one had migrated.
