Dear O&G Specialists,
The Handbook of Obstetrics Guideline 2024 by the Ministry of Health Malaysia includes a dedicated section on Postpartum Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (PPIUD), recognising its role as an important postpartum family planning option.
💡 Why consider PPIUD?
✅ Long-acting, reversible contraception
✅ Can be inserted immediately after delivery or within 48 hours postpartum
✅ Compatible with breastfeeding
✅ No daily action required from the patient
✅ Fertility returns promptly after removal
👩⚕️PPIUD provides an opportunity to discuss effective contraception with women during their maternity care journey and support informed reproductive choices.
