Abstract

Background: Levonorgestrel intrauterine devices (IUDs) have been successfully used in the adolescent population for menstrual suppression, dysmenorrhea, & contraception. Historically, there has been concern regarding the adequacy of the uterine cavity for an IUD in the underdeveloped uterus. Currently, there is no standardized non-invasive way to accurately assess intrauterine cavity length. This study aims to assess the correlation between uterine cavity length on transabdominal pelvic ultrasound (US) to the directly measured uterine cavity length at time of IUD insertion.
