Dispelling Myths About IUCs
• Are not abortifacients • Do not cause ectopic
pregnancy • Do not cause pelvic
infection • Do not decrease the
likelihood of future pregnancies
• Are not large in size • Can be used by
nulliparous women
• Can be used by women who have had an ectopic pregnancy
• Do not need to be removed for PID treatment
• Do not have to be removed if inflammatory changes are noted on a Pap test

IUCs Do Not Cause PID or Infertility
• PID incidence for IUC users same as the general population
• Risk is increased only during the first month after placement
• Preexisting STI at time of placement, not the IUC itself, increases risk
• Use of IUC is not associated with increased risk of tubal occlusion; rather chlamydia infection is
• No reason to restrict use based on sexual behaviors

Ectopic Pregnancy Risk with IUC*
If a pregnancy occurs while using these methods, the risk of ectopic pregnancy is higher. These methods prevent intrauterine pregnancies better than they prevent ectopic pregnancies.

• Can be placed anytime in cycle-as long as patient is not pregnant No benefit to placement during menses No impact on pain/discomfort during
placement • Immediate post-partum • Immediate post-abortion

Pre-IUC placement Screening • No routine screening tests
• CT/GC: ⁻ If age <26 and due for annual screening ⁻ If high risk for STI
• Pap test only if due • Pregnancy test if pregnancy suspected • Baseline Hgb-may be helpful for later
management • Any indicated screening test can be performed at

Pre-placement Medication
•Prophylactic antibiotics ⁻ No value for routine administration

common, but no effect on insertion pain or discontinuation
⁻ Misoprostol given prior to insertion-no effect on pain scores
⁻ Consider paracervical block if history of cervical os or canal stenosis

⁻ Termination planned: await procedure ⁻ Continue pregnancy: remove IUC if strings
visible ⁻ Removal decreases risk of spontaneous
abortion, premature delivery • Retention of IUC (if strings not visible)
⁻ Increase surveillance for SAB, pre-term birth ⁻ No greater risk of birth defects (extra-amniotic)

Actinomyces-Like Organisms
(ALO) • Actinomyces israelii has characteristics of both
bacteria and fungus; part of GI flora • May asymptomatically colonize the frame of
the IUC, which in itself is not dangerous • Very small percentage of women with IUC +
actinomyces will develop pelvic actinomycosis ⁻ Presentation is similar to severe PID

Difficulty Sounding
• Use greater outward traction on the tenaculum to minimize canal-to-endometrial cavity angulation
• Place paracervical or intracervical block to relax cervical smooth muscle and reduce pain
• Use os finder device, if available • Dilate internal os with metal dilators to #13F (4.1
mm) • If unsuccessful, return at a later date with use of
misoprostol for cervical priming

Prophylactic Misoprostol
• Pain scores no different in the two groups • Increase in preinsertion side effects • In one trial:
⁻ Insertion considered easier ⁻ “Misoprostol facilitates IUD placement and
reduces the number of difficult and failed attempts of placements in women with a narrow cervical canal”
