Abstract:
Migration of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) into the urinary bladder is very rare. We experienced a case of a foreign-body migrating into the bladder of a 35-year-old women who has been suffering from frequency and dysuria for the recent 5 months. The IUD had originally been inserted 10 years ago. Removal of the IUD had been performed for achieving pregnancy, but the IUD was not detected at the correct site 7 years ago. One year later, the patient had given birth without complication. It is thought that it took less than 6 years for the IUD to invade the bladder wall.
