One hundred and one healthy women with intrauterine devices (IUDs) were studied by echosonography; 46 women had Multiload Cu375 IUD (group I), 30 Ginetik TCu220 IUD (group II) and 25 Lippes loop IUD (group III). In groups I and II echosonography was performed 30 minutes, 30 days and 3 and 6 months following insertion. Group III was investigated only when complications developed. Echosonography showed high accuracy in detecting IUD expulsion or incorrect position, and pregnancy in the IUD wearer.
