In view of high rate of teenage marriages, unintended pregnancies and low rate of birth spacing in this region, there is a need for reliable, effective, long-term contraception such as Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) in postpartum women. The present study was planned to evaluate the safety and efficacy of postplacental IUCD insertion in women delivering vaginally or by caesarean section in a tertiary care centre facility in East Godavari District of Coastal Andhra Pradesh.
