  • Examination of the performance and characteristics of intrauterine systems (IUS) and frameless IUDs.

    • Main Results:

    • Hormone-releasing intrauterine systems (IUS) and injectable progestogens offer high efficacy, comparable to female sterilization.
    • The intrauterine device (IUD) is experiencing a resurgence, driven by the success of IUS and new frameless designs like GyneFix.
    • Despite past challenges in some regions, the IUD is regaining prominence as a leading reversible contraceptive.

    Conclusions:

    • Contraceptive technology continues to evolve, offering women more choices and improved efficacy.
    • Long-acting reversible contraceptives, particularly IUS and IUDs, are becoming increasingly important due to their high effectiveness and minimal compliance requirements.
    • Advancements in IUD technology, including frameless devices, are contributing to their renewed popularity and effectiveness in family planning.
