FFPRHC Guidance (January 2004) The Copper Intrauterine Device as Long-term Contraception
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care 2004: 30(1) What is intrauterine contraception? This Guidance provides recommendations and good practice points regarding the use of a copper intrauterine device for long-term contraception, the accepted abbreviation for which is IUD. The use of an IUD as emergency contraception (EC) was covered in previous Guidance.1 The IUD is a safe and effective method of contraception. Although use in the UK has increased in recent years, only 5% of contraceptive users aged 16–49 years currently use an IUD.2 A balanced approach to counselling by clinicians may allay myths and unfounded fears and further increase IUD use.3
