Abstract
One of the most common side effects during the use of IUDs is increased and prolonged menstrual bleeding. This increase in blood loss was verified by estimating the menstrual blood loss in women using the Cu-T 200. There was a significant increase in blood loss in both nulliparous and parous women even one year after the insertion of the IUD. Because of this blood loss, an increased incidence of iron deficiency could be expected. However, no significant changes could be registered in the concentration of haemoglobin, serum iron, or total iron binding capacity. Thus, the food iron absorption seemed to balance the increased iron losses during one year in the studied material of healthy Swedish women.
