We read the manuscript published by Abdellah et al. entitled “Vaginal misoprostol
prior to intrauterine device insertion in women delivered exclusively by elective
Cesarean section: a randomized double-blind trial” [
[1]
] with great interest. In our opinion, this paper contributes valuable information
to the literature on the subject of facilitating intrauterine device (IUD) insertion.
The strengths of the study include the fact that it was a double-blind randomized
clinical trial (RCT), the participants consisted of women who had delivered exclusively
by Cesarean and all the IUD insertions were performed by the same professional.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
