The study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the medical college. Results: Out of 1820 women, only 108 (5.9%) were aware about PP-IUCD and they received information from the IEC material displayed in the antenatal clinic. Out of these 108 women, 70 women (64.8%) agreed with PP-IUCD insertion. Out of 1712 unaware women, 930 (54.3%) agreed with PP-IUCD. Agreement with PP-IUCD insertion was higher in women who were aware about the PP-IUCD. Overall acceptability was found in 1000 (55%) patients. Out of the 1000 (55%) women who accepted the PP-IUCD insertion, only 573 (31.4%) women underwent PP-IUCD insertion. After PPIUCD insertion, 67.2% of women had an uneventful course and 32.8% women had complications. Not a single woman suffered from perforation, or any other life-threatening complication. Conclusion: The acceptance of PP-IUCD was high in present study and it is comparably more than other studies done globally. Awareness of PP-IUCD among these women was very poor despite high acceptance. The PP-IUCD was also demonstrably safe, having no reported incidence of perforation with low rates of expulsion, pelvic infection, and few lost strings.
