[Clinical experiences with progesterone-releasing IUD].

The authors carried out testing on the progesterone--releasing IUD and the results obtained on 120 women (14 nulliparous and 106 multiparous) are similar to those obtained withother devices. Some characteristics appear to be of a positive nature (low incidence of metrrorhagia dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain). The occurrence of 2 ectopic pregnancies out of 5 seems to suggest more caution in prescribing it especially for the nulliparous woman. (authors modified) (summary in ENG)
