  • Title: [Intrauterine contraception in nulliparous women (author's transl)].
    Author: Calzolari E, Bartoleschi A, Dati S, Camilli A.
    Journal: Patol Clin Ostet Ginecol; 1980; 8(2):121-4. PubMed ID: 12278495.
    Abstract:
    The authors examine the results obtained in 69 nulliparous women personally checked after insertion of an IUD (various types) for a total of 794 months of use. 3 pregnancies, 8 removals for medical reasons, and 10 expulsions were registered. This 30.4% failure rate indicates a more thorough screening of candidates for this method and their careful supervision, in order to ascertain the collateral effects, in particular those -- as in the case of pelvic infection -- which could have sequelae in future fertility. 18.8% of users asked for removal for personal reasons before 24 months of use were over, often due to a mistaken valuation of contraceptive necessity before choice of a method.
