Short notes on intrauterine devices.
The DATTA panelists emphasized the critical importance of patient selection when considering IUDs for contraception The IUD is an acceptable method of contraceptives, in a stable monogamous relationship, and not at risk for sexually transmittel diseases. Within these constraints, the panelists gave overwhelming support to the IUD as a safe and effective method of contraception. The minority opinion (two panelists) that these devices were not established for safety or effectiveness was based on concerns over possible infectious complications.
