Copper IUDs Information (Copper Intrauterine Device)
Information on hormonal intrauterine devices.
There are other considerations for women who are thinking about using a copper IUD. For some women, there is an increased chance of complications by using a copper IUD. Although these situations needn't prevent a woman from using an IUD, they should discuss these conditions with their doctor before using an IUD. Women who have painful periods, have had an eptopic pregnancy, are anemic, or have conditions that have previously affected their cervix or uterus should speak with their gynecologist before using an IUD.
