“…The Indian Council of Medical Research found that 18-20% of copper IUD users experienced increased bleeding in the first three months following IUD insertion, but the percentages of women with that complaint were lower after longer intervals post insertion 43 . Egyptian investigators estimated that 30% of IUD users experienced prolonged menstrual cycles and had a menstrual flow increased by at least 50% 44 .…”

Since the 1959 revival of the IUD, non-hormonal devices have become the most widely used of all reversible contraceptives. Pregnancy rates of copper-releasing IUDs in current use range from approximately 0.5 to 1.5 per hundred continuing users in the first year, with somewhat lower annual pregnancy rates thereafter. Evidence-based research has been systematically conducted and translated into guidelines for eligibility criteria and problem management. Recent device research, beyond the T, Multiload and frameless devices has centred on improved designs such as U ,Y and Slimline shapes, or enhanced copper release, the latter through electrochemical effects or nanotechnology applications. Other IUD research foci concern devices that decrease bleeding and pain by releasing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Yet other research lines indicate noncontraceptive benefits of copper intrauterine devices in protecting against endometrial cancer, and favourable risk-benefit analyses of IUD use by women at risk of or post HIV infection. IUD mechanisms of action and the relation of IUDs to pelvic infection and ectopic pregnancy are briefly reviewed. For our literature search we used Medline, Popline and Cochrane Library data bases, Google search, our personal files, and the references contained in articles in our files.

“…Primeiro, pelo fato de estar inserido em um consór-cio de pesquisa, houve restrição no número de questões abordadas, limitando a coleta de outras informações relacionadas aos distúrbios menstruais. Aspectos como a investigação detalhada da história reprodutiva da mulher (por exemplo, idade da menarca 31,33,38 , tempo de uso do atual método anticoncepcional 39 ), presença de sintomas menstruais (como dismenorreia) 31,34 e ginecológicos (dispareunia) 40 , histórico de consultas médicas (com médicos ginecologistas ou não) 33,34 e presença de fatores estressantes 38 , cuja associação foi investigada por outros autores, não puderam ser explorados.…”

A cross-sectional population-based study was conducted in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, to 46.4% (43.3-49.4). The most prevalent disorder was heavy menstrual bleeding (23.2%; 20.5-25.8), followed by short cycle (19.2%; 16.6-21.8), long cycle (14.8%; 12.7-16.9), inter-menstrual bleeding (11.1%; 9.1-13.2), and prolonged menses (7.9%; 6.3-9.4 46,4% (43,4-49,4). O mais prevalente foi sangramento menstrual excessivo (23,2%; 20,5-25,8), seguido de ciclo menstrual curto (19,2%; 16,6-21,8), ciclo menstrual longo (14,8%; 12,7-16,9), sangramento intermenstrual (11,1%; 9,1-13,2) e menstruação prolongada (7,9%; 6,3-9,4

“…These changes very rarely suggest a medical problem. Nonetheless, bleeding changes that occur during use of these methods are a primary reason for cessation of use [24,25].…”

“…Finally, investigative efforts are needed to develop contraceptive methods that avoid or lead to only minimal bleeding irregularities in the first place. Improved cycle control has been shown with newer estrogen or progestin formulations in various CHC methods, but more research is needed for longer-acting methods [24,38].…”
