Title: Intrauterine contraception. Author: Rao RP, Scommegna A. Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1977 Nov; 16(5):177-85. PubMed ID: 920572.

Major complications are rare if adequate precautions are taken. The IUD is an ideal contraceptive for patients with contraindications to oral contraception and for those who have difficulty remembering to utilize other methods.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
