Rectal migration of an intrauterine device (IUD) is a rare but potentially serious complication requiring prompt diagnosis and management. We present a rare case of rectal migration of an intrauterine device (IUD) in a 26-year-old female, highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, laparoscopic removal, and postoperative outcomes. This case emphasizes the critical importance of vigilant monitoring, early intervention, and close follow-up in managing IUD migration to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Timely recognition and intervention resulted in successful symptom resolution and a favorable long-term prognosis.

Objective: Endometrial resection and ablation are minimal invasive surgeries used to treat women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Both may be followed by a high reoperation rate up to 24%. However, some studies suggest that this may be improved by adding a levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) immediately following surgery.

Background: Postpartum contraception is typically provided during postpartum visits. When desired and accessible, the immediate postpartum period provides an additional opportunity to increase the use of more effective contraceptive methods to potentially reduce subsequent unintended pregnancies and improve pregnancy outcomes. In New York State, recent policy changes expanded Medicaid coverage to include immediate postplacental intrauterine device insertion.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effects of a non-antibiotic treatment (intrauterine dextrose) versus systemic antibiotics (ceftiofur) on the vaginal microbiome of dairy cows with clinical metritis around 7 days post-calving.
- Results indicated that both treatments resulted in only minor differences in the microbiome, suggesting that dextrose could be a viable alternative to antibiotics.
- The study found no significant changes in alpha or beta diversity of the microbiome among the two treatments at various time points.

Introduction: IUDs are effective, reversible and safe methods of contraception. The mechanism of action of IUDs as a group is inducing endometrial atrophy, apoptosis, altering tubal motility; preventing sperm permeability, fertilization, and implantation. Complications of IUD include menstrual disturbance, pelvic pain, and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy with contraceptive failure, device expulsion, uterine perforation or transmural migration with misplacement of the device.

Indwelling intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) have surfaces that facilitate the attachment of spp., creating a suitable environment for biofilm formation. Due to this, vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is frequently linked to IUD usage, necessitating the prompt removal of these devices for effective treatment.
