Levonorgestrel Intrauterine Device Placement in Uterine Anomalies: A Case Series

This video breaks down a case series discussing levonorgestrel IUD placement in patients with uterine anomalies, challenging current CDC guidelines that classify IUD use in distorted uterine cavities as contraindicated. It highlights the experiences of five patients, their IUD expulsion rates (40% over 4.5 years), and crucial considerations for shared medical decision-making in this complex patient population. Key factors include the potential need for device modification and imaging (ultrasound or hysteroscopy) during placement.
