Summary
This study tested a handmade frameless IUD that releases the hormone levonorgestrel in 15 women at high risk of IUD expulsion due to conditions like adenomyosis or heavy bleeding. The device was made by combining an anchor system with a standard IUD after removing its T-shaped arms. Researchers looked at how often the device fell out and whether it improved symptoms like pain and heavy periods.

What this could lead to
If successful, this device could offer a better option for women at high risk of IUD expulsion, helping control heavy bleeding and pain without the device falling out.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, retrospective study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is handmade, which could affect consistency and safety.
