    Intrauterine contraception has higher morbidity than oral methods, often due to poor counseling and device fitting. Careful patient selection and follow-up can mitigate risks, especially for older women.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Contraception
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Intrauterine contraception, while having low mortality, presents higher morbidity compared to oral contraceptives.
    • Suboptimal counseling, device fitting, and follow-up contribute significantly to adverse events and program prejudice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the common causes of adverse effects associated with intrauterine devices (IUDs).
    • To identify factors, such as user age, that influence IUD safety and efficacy.
    • To guide the selection of appropriate IUDs for individual women and predict future trends.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on intrauterine contraception adverse events.
    • Analysis of factors contributing to morbidity.
    • Age-specific risk assessment for IUD users.

    Main Results:

    • Many significant adverse effects of IUDs share common etiological factors.
    • The incidence of several adverse effects decreases with increasing user age.
    • Patient counseling, device fitting, and follow-up are critical for minimizing IUD-related morbidity.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing patient counseling, IUD fitting, and follow-up protocols is essential for improving the safety profile of intrauterine contraception.
    • Age is a significant factor in determining the risk-benefit ratio of IUD use.
    • Personalized selection of intrauterine devices based on individual patient characteristics can enhance method acceptability and reduce adverse outcomes.
