Pelvic adhesions in intrauterine device users.

Abstract:

:A thorough inspection of the pelvis for adhesions was made at the time of laparoscopic tubal sterilization in 2131 patients. Contraceptive use was then compared in women with adhesions (cases) and those without adhesions (controls). Current or previous intrauterine device (IUD) use was not associated with a statistically significant increased incidence of adhesions (odds ratio = 0.98, 95% confidence limits 0.58-1.64). This risk was reduced to 0.62 for current IUD users. The IUDs removed at the time of laparoscopy included the Lippes Loop, Copper 7, and the Saf-T-Coil. These findings support the use of the IUD in the appropriate patient by demonstrating no increased risk for the development of adhesions in multiparous IUD users.
