[The intrauterine device: are there still contraindications? A study on 300 Gyne-T 380 users (1987-1992)].
Uterine malformations, history of infection and nulliparity are the classical contraindications to insertion of an IUD, while uterine scars and malpositions constitute relative contraindications. In a context of a marked reduction in the number of IUD users, the author reviews this method based on his personal experience of 300 cases. The indications for this type of contraception can be safely extended, as it constitutes a valuable alternative to other methods.
