According to information from doctors, although the pregnancy was not planned, Ms. VTTH (35 years old, Vinh Phuc) had a safe pregnancy and the birth was successful under the close supervision of doctors at Hanoi Obstetrics Hospital.

The IUD is placed outside the amniotic sac and does not affect the development of the fetus. The surgery was performed directly by Dr. Tran Ngoc Dinh, head of the hospital's volunteer department D5.

IUDs are a popular method of birth control, but they are not foolproof. There are many factors that can reduce the effectiveness of the IUD, such as movement, damage, or health problems in the woman.

According to statistics, the rate of having children after having an IUD is about 2-8/10,000 cases in the world. However, not all cases lead to a safe pregnancy outcome, some cases can leave complications.

Doctors recommend that all methods of contraception have their own advantages and disadvantages. To choose the optimal method of contraception that best suits your health condition, women should go to a specialized hospital for advice from a doctor.

For IUDs, after placement, women need to return for check-ups after 1 week and 1 month to re-determine the placement of the IUD. If the IUD is left out of date or misplaced, there will be dangers, complications or pelvic infections.
