Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this work was to study the continuation rate of intrauterine device (IUD) copper in a nulliparous population. PATIENTS AND METHOD: A prospective study in a family planning centre including nulliparous patients between January and December 2012. RESULTS: A total of 83 nulliparous patients had IUD copper insertion and 11 patients were excluded because they were lost to follow-up. Finally, 72 nulliparous patients were included in the study. Continuation rate after one-year follow-up was 90.3% (65/72). Satisfaction rate of patient was high (93.8%). Menstruation amount was increased for 84% (55/65) patients, but 75% (41/55) did not report any inconvenience about this. Dysmenorrhea were increased for 80% (52/65) patients, but 58% (30/52) were not troubled by this. CONCLUSION: Continuation rate of IUD copper was high (90%) after one-year follow-up in nulliparous women. Tolerance was also good for evaluated patients.
