NCT05204979

Brief Summary

Insertion failures of intrauterine devices and cervical problems seem to occur more often among women who have never delivered vaginally. This trial will compare the effect of vaginal versus sublingual misoprostol prior to insertion of an intrauterine device in multiparous women delivered by CS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The proportion of easy IUD Insertion

    Difficulty of IUD insertion will be measured by cervical dilatation that determined by two factors: 1. Degree of dilatation of cervix by using gradual Hegar 1, 2, 3. 2. The degree of difficulty of the IUD insertion judged as the resistance of the internal cervical os experienced by the investigator and classified as 'easy', 'moderate' or 'difficult'. \[Time Frame: Easy: Using Hegar 3 and easy of difficulty of insertion. Moderate: Using Hegar 2 and moderate of difficulty of insertion. Difficult: Using Hegar 1 and difficult of difficulty of insertion\]

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • the pain during insertion

    24 hours

Study Arms (1)

Misopristol

Group A: vaginal misoprostol will be taken Group B: sublingual misoprostol will be taken

Other: Vaginal Versus Sublingual misoprostol

Interventions

Insertion failures of intra uterine devices and cervical problems seem to occur more often among women who have never delivered vaginally. Several studies have shown the benefit of misoprostol as a cervical ripening agent in nonpregnant women. This trial will compare the effect of vaginal versus sublingual misoprostol prior to insertion of an intrauterine device in multiparous women delivered by CS.

You may not qualify if:

  • Women had a previous vaginal operations. Women with contraindications for misoprostol use (pregnancy, prostaglandin allergy) Women with a contraindication for IUCD insertion (e.g., less than sex weeks post-partum, gynecologic malignancy, uterine bleeding of undetermined origin, fibroids or other uterine abnormalities, active vaginitis or cervicitis, a history of PID or puerperal sepsis).
  • Women on anticoagulant therapy or having any coagulopathy. Women who refused to participate.
