Currently, the problem of family planning is not only medical, but also social. The reason for this is the widespread use of artificial termination of pregnancy in our country. Moreover, the majority of women in Russia resort to the extremely dangerous method of abortion - acute curettage, which is associated with a high risk of further infertility and the development of long-term adverse consequences. It is necessary to inform all patients of reproductive age about the neg-ative consequences of artificial termination of preg-nancy and the possibilities of modern methods of con-traception. One of the most popular in our country (in second place after combined oral contraceptives) and highly effective (Pearl index is 0.1-0.5) methods of contraception is the intrauterine device. Intrauterine systems (IUDs) are reversible long-term contraception, which makes them easy to use and affordable. The IUD is installed for 5 years and does not require constant monitoring by the patient. If necessary, the device can be removed at any time. Another positive aspect is that fertility is restored after 12 months in 80-96% of cas-es. Also, intrauterine contraceptives have the thera-peutic effect, since the local action allows you to nor-malize the menstrual cycle, which is especially im-portant for women suffering from hyperpolymenor-rhea and chronic anemia. It has been proven that IUDs do not increase the risk of developing endome-trial and cervical malignant tumors and, in addition, have antiproliferative and antimitotic effects, which makes it possible to use them in patients with complex atypical hyperplasia and highly differentiated stage IA endometrial adenocarcinoma.
