Research on Internet-use Disorder (IUD) has increased rapidly, indicating its clinical and global importance. Past studies suggested cultural diversity regarding the prevalence of an IUD, e.g., between Asian and European countries. Additionally, it was found that personality factors, Internet-related cognitions and specific competences seem to influence IUD tendencies, but research lacks in cul...

©FFPRHC J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2007: 33(1) Introduction Translocation of an intrauterine device (IUD) is a widely reported and recognised complication of insertion. We describe an interesting location within a sterile anterior peritoneal abscess, presenting in an asymptomatic woman with an unplanned pregnancy, 1 year after its insertion. This case highlights the importance of checking t...

Introduction: Intrauterine devices (IUD) are safe long-term contraceptive methods frequently used. Though it is a rare event, the uterine perforation and migration of an IUD possible. Case description: This study based on single patient who has been using Levonorgestrel (LNG)-IUD for last two years without previous complications. A control ultrasound in October/2019 reported normally placed LNG...

BACKGROUND Studies of Primary Health Care (PHC) reveal considerable practice variations in terms of the range of services provided. In Norway, general practitioners (GPs) are traditionally expected to perform IUD-insertions and several surgical procedures as a part of comprehensive PHC. We aimed to investigate variation in the provision of surgical procedures and IUD-insertions across GPs and o...

The Marie Stopes Society established its mobile outreach service delivery program with the aim of increasing use of modern quality contraceptive services, including the long-term reversible IUD, by w...

During this cohort study, the copper-intrauterine device (IUD) did not modify subendometrial microvascularization. However, subendometrial blood flow increased in patients who experienced IUD-induced side effects.

No studies show that IUDs destroy developing embryos at rates higher than those found in women who are not using contraceptives. Studies of early pregnancy factors have not shown statistically significant differences in transient levels of hCG between IUD and control groups, a sign of early abortion. The small, careful study by Segal et al. (1985) found no transient rise of hCG in the IUD group...
