Abstract
Removal is the most important reason for terminating the use of IUDs, and side effect is the main reason for removing IUDs. This paper estimated the occurrence rates of side effects perceived by users of IUDs and studied the relationships between side effects and types of IUDs, results of use and preferences for contraceptives. Data were drawn from ”the Follow-up Survey of Contraceptive users” conducted by Taiwan Provincial Institute of Famiy Planning in 1985. Besides the result showed form the descriptive data, it appeared some possible relationships: (1) 46.6% of the users perceived to have side effects and at least half of them terminating the use of IUDs for the side effects. (2) There was no relationship between side effects and types of IUDs. But side effects had influences on the duration of use and future preferences for contraceptives. (3) It may be true that IUDs were sometimes blamed for the complaints which were not relative to IUDs. (4) Users with uncomfortable experience in IUDs may be persuaded to accept ligation more easily. (5) Occurrence rate of self-perceptive side effects was lowest while IUDs were inserted by private hospitals or clinics.
