    Intrauterine devices (IUDs) offer effective postcoital contraception for up to five days, avoiding hormonal side effects. However, careful screening is crucial to mitigate risks like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in eligible women.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Contraception
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Hormonal interception is a common postcoital method but causes nausea and vomiting.
    • Intrauterine devices (IUDs) present an alternative postcoital contraceptive strategy.
    • IUDs offer potential long-term contraception beyond emergency use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of postcoital IUD insertion for pregnancy prevention.
    • To compare IUDs with hormonal methods for postcoital interception.
    • To identify patient populations at higher risk for IUD-related complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing studies on postcoital IUD use.
    • Selection of suitable patients based on physical examination and infection screening.

  • Focus on copper IUDs, specifically Multiload and Copper T models.

    • Main Results:

    • IUDs are effective for up to 5 days post-exposure, exceeding hormonal methods' window.
    • No pregnancies were reported in treatment cycles across several studies.
    • Certain IUD models (e.g., Copper-7 Gravigard) showed higher expulsion rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Postcoital IUD insertion is a viable option, particularly for those avoiding hormonal side effects.
    • Stringent screening is essential to prevent complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
    • Informed consent is critical, especially for young, nulliparous, and high-risk individuals.
