Trial design

100 participants in 2 patient groups

Non touch technique

Experimental group

Description:

the intrauterine device TCu 380A will be inserted in the conventional method as follows: First, insert the speculum and view the cervix. The position of the cervix will very often confirm if the uterus is anteverted or retroverted. Second, using the Allis forceps hold the back of a cotton-ball swab and dip it into a povidine-iodine disinfectant solution, or equivalent. Swab the cervix. Then cut the threads to the appropriate length and remove the speculum. This technique omits the sounding of the uterus which is considered a quintessential procedure before IUD insertion for which there is no one established piece of evidence.The IUD is checked afterwards by transvaginal ultrasound.
