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.
