Grafenberg's ring, made 1st of silkworm gut and later of gold or silver, was used in Berlin in the 1920s, but dangerous infections were associated with these IUDs. In the early 1960s new biologically inert materials (stainless steel and plastic) were used for the Lippes Loop, the Saf-T-Coil, and the Spiral (associated with a higher expulsion rate). The stainless tell Majzlin Spring was recalled by the FDA because of embedding in the uterine wall. The Dalkon Shield, introduced in the early 1970s, was implicated in midtrimester septic abortions and deaths, and was later withdrawn. Progestasert containing progesterone was 1st used in the mid-1970s, however, side effects included dysmenorrhea, vaso-vagal reaction, and higher ectopic pregnancy rates. Stimulation of the vagus nerve occurring during tenaculum placement can induce symptoms known as the vaso-vagal reaction: bradycardia, hypotension, nausea, pallor, syncope, and cardiac arrest. Moderate symptoms may be relieved by atropine sulfate (.6 mg iv). Baseline pulse and blood pressure must be routinely read before IUD fitting. Sounding the uterus during menstruation and a follow-up visit within 3 months with x-ray if necessary is recommended to rule out perforation. Reported expulsion rates vary from 1 to 24%, mostly among nulliparas. Copper-bearing devices usually require laparotomy for removal. Pregnancy occurs in 1-5% of IUD users. Removal may trigger spontaneous abortion, but the in situ IUD poses more danger. The theoretical efficacy of IUDs is 97-99% (of 100 women correctly using IUDs for 1 year, 1-3 become pregnant). Their disadvantages include increased dysmenorrhea, menstrual cramps, and bleeding. An estimated 5-10% of pregnancies occurring with an IUD in situ are ectopic. Women who use IUDs are several times more likely to develop pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) than nonusers. Recent research substantiates a 4.4 to 9-fold increase in PID risk in IUD users. About 80% of women continue to use their IUDs after 1 year.","PeriodicalId":84725,"journal":{"name":"Family planning information service","volume":"73 1","pages":"17,20-1, passim"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/00006205-198007000-00005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61573529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Characteristics of women using the pill.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Pill users tend to differ from other women. They are generally younger and have more children (they have their families before going on the pill). There are more smokers among them and they smoke more heavily. They are less likely to have had a previous serious illness because when determining a patient's suitability to take the pill, a doctor would take into account previous medical history. They also have a higher coital frequency than women using other methods of contraception. The level of education is a significant factor in contraceptive choice. A Melbourne survey found that \"within the first three years of (the pill's) introduction, 23 percent of the wives with tertiary education had adopted this new method compared with 3, 12, and 18 percent respectively of those with elementary, lower secondary and upper secondary education as their highest achieved levels .... Over the decade, the educational differential in pill use has declined, especially amongst the Australian born. However, it should be noted that by 1970-71 a new innovational differential had appeared; the most highly educated women had already begun to move away from the pill while levels of usage were reaching a plateau or still rising in other educational groups.\" It is impossible to generalize about this, even though much research has been done in this area. A Melbourne survey, found that 95% of women had either heard of or used the pill. Another survey, found that 26% of women were using the pill and yet another found that most women disliked the pill.
