THE RESURGENCE OF INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTION

Abstract

The topic of intrauterine contraception remains relevant for a very long time. The active search for optimal and safe means of intrauterine contraception began in the last century and is gaining more and more momentum in the modern world. The importance of this issue is due to the continuing need of the population of reproductive age to control childbearing, the popularization of data on various methods of birth control and the desire to use safe, effective, environmentally friendly methods of contraception. The presented topic touches on the aspects of family planning and pre-gravidar training, so it is not only a significant medical, but also a social problem. This leads to the constant need to study new mechanisms of systemic and local effects of intrauterine contraceptives on the female body. This article discusses the use of intrauterine contraceptives, the features of their impact on the endometrium, the reproductive potential of women, as well as the positive and negative aspects of their use. There are also groups of women for whom intrauterine contraception is the method of choice for birth control. The indications for the extraction of an intrauterine contraceptive are described. Among them, there are menstrual disorders of the type of hypermenorrhea lasting more than 6 months in the absence of the effect of the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the end of the period of use of an intrauterine contraceptive, the desire and need of a woman, the desired pregnancy, expulsions, the postmenopausal period. Knowledge of all aspects of intrauterine contraception allows the obstetrician-gynecologist to correctly select a certain type of IUD, to explain to the woman all the risks of its use, to diagnose and correct complications in a timely manner.
