Abstract
Some of the risks which have been associated with the use of intrauterine contraception are reviewed. For users of copper-releasing IUDs, such as the Multiload Cu375 and TCu380, uterine perforations are rare, there is no evidence of an increased risk of infertility, and there probably is no increased risk of ectopic pregnancy after IUD removal. Any increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease may be limited to the initial months of IUD use. The safety of intrauterine contraception needs to be re-evaluated for the newer IUDs, since most of the information relating to IUD safety is based on studies of devices which are no longer used or which are not in widespread use.
