Effect of fixed intrauterine device inserted after induced abortion of women with unintended pregnancy
Objective:To evaluate the effect of the fixed intrauterine device(IUD)inserted after induced abortion of women with unwanted pregnancy.Methods:213 nulliparous women who wanted voluntarily induced abortion from Ju-ly 2021 to July 2022 were selected and were given post-abortion care(PAC),including 103 cases with IUD inserted for contraception in observation group and 110 cases with other contraceptive methods in control group.Questionnaire sur-vey was conducted to compare the knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP)for the harm of induced abortion of the nul-liparous before and after intervention between the two groups.The recovery time of sexual life after abortion of the nul-liparous was compared between the two groups.The unwanted pregnancy again and its causes and then induced abor-tion situation of the nulliparous were followed up for 1 year.Results:The scores of the theory cognition,the attitude and belief,and behavior ability about the induced abortion hazards knowledge of the nulliparous in the two groups after the intervention had increased significantly(P<0.05),but which of the nulliparous had no significantly different be-tween the two groups.After intervention,the recovery time of sexual life(3.7±0.1 months)of the nulliparous in the observation group was significantly shorter than that(3.2±0.9 months)of the nulliparous in the control group,and the incidence of the unintended pregnancy(8 cases,7.8%)of the nulliparous in the observation group was significantly lower than that(24 cases,21.8%)of the nulliparous in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant differ-ence in the incidence of the induced abortion again(0.9%vs.1.9%)of the nulliparous between the two groups.The rea-sons of unintended pregnancy of the nulliparous in the observation group were IUD expulsion,and which of the nullipa-rous in the control group were contraceptive failure(11 cases,45.8%)and no contraception or incorrectly contraception used(13 cases,54.2%).Conclusion:Fixed IUD is effective in reducing the unwanted pregnancy again of the women after induced abortion,and the IUD expulsion should be focused on.
