Vesical calculus: a complication of intravesical migration of intrauterine contraceptive device

M Rafique. Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct. 2002 Nov.

Abstract

Intravesical migration of an intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) in a 28-year-old woman resulted in recurrent urinary tract infections. She received antibiotic treatment from her general practitioner but had no investigations done. Later on she became pregnant and investigations revealed that the thread of IUCD was missing and there was a vesical calculus. After she had delivered the baby, a pelvic X-ray was taken and showed a vesical calculus on the IUCD. Both calculus and IUCD were removed cystoscopically.
